14       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED

15   AND DECREED that the orders and judgments of the district

16   court be AFFIRMED.

17       Plaintiff-Appellant Marc Verzani appeals from a series

18   of orders and judgments of the United States District Court

19   for the Southern District of New York (McMahon, J.), which

20   dismissed his breach of contract claim, denied leave to file

21   a second amended complaint, and dismissed his amended

22   complaint with prejudice.    We assume the parties’

23   familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural

24   history, and the issues presented for review.

25       For substantially the same reasons set forth in the

26   district court’s thorough and well-reasoned memoranda and

27   orders, we conclude that the district court properly

28   dismissed Verzani’s complaint and denied his motion to amend

29   as futile.

                                     2
1       For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district

2   court is hereby AFFIRMED.
