Co. of Am., 916 F.2d 731, 734 (1st Cir.1990); Blake v. Pellegrino, 329 F.3d 43, 50 (1st Cir.2003); Acevedo-Garcia v. Monroig, 351 F.3d 547, 561 (1st Cir.2003). Furthermore, the district court properly dismissed Petitioner's complaint for the reasons stated in its Order.
Dismissed with prejudice. Local R. 27(c).
