[NOT FOR PUBLICATION--NOT TO BE CITED AS PRECEDENT] United States Court of Appeals For the First Circuit

No. 98-1386

ANINA RASTEN,

Plaintiff, Appellant,

v.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR,

Defendant, Appellee.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

[Hon. Edward F. Harrington, U.S. District Judge]

Before

Selya, Stahl and Lynch, Circuit Judges.

Anina Rasten on brief pro se.

DECEMBER 22, 1998

Per Curiam. After carefully considering the appellant's brief and the record on appeal, we affirm the judgment of the district court. The appellant's complaint did not set forth sufficient facts to support an action in federal court. The district court had discretion under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2) to dismiss the suit without giving the appellant an opportunity to amend the complaint. Affirmed. Loc. R. 27.1.
