No. 97-1883

SAMSON OMOSEFUNMI,

Plaintiff, Appellant,

v.

CHARLES T. COBB, ETC., ET AL.,

Defendants, Appellees.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

[Hon. William G. Young, U.S. District Judge]

Before

Torruella, Chief Judge, Selya and Stahl, Circuit Judges.

Samson Omosefunmi on brief pro se. Donald K. Stern, United States Attorney, and Rayford A. Farquhar, Assistant U.S. Attorney, on brief for appellees.

MARCH 17, 1998

Per Curiam. Upon careful review of the briefs and record, we conclude that the district court properly dismissed the complaint for the reasons stated in the defendants' motion. We find no merit in appellant's arguments in that regard, and we particularly reject his argument about the finality of his convictions. See White v. Immigration & Naturalization Service,

(1st Cir. 1994). Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
