APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND

[Hon. Mary M. Lisi, U.S. District Judge]

Before

Torruella, Chief Judge, Cyr, Senior Circuit Judge, and Selya, Circuit Judge.

Richard A. Sinapi, American Civil Liberties Union, Rhode Island Affiliate and Sinapi Law Associates, Ltd. on brief for appellants. Jeffrey B. Pine, Attorney General, Thomas A. Palombo, Special Assistant Attorney General, and Ellen Evans Alexander, Deputy Chief Legal Counsel on Motion for Summary Disposition for appellees.

March 4, 1999

Per Curiam. Upon careful review of the record, the briefs, and the history of this case, Taylor v. State of Rhode Island,

101 F.3d 780

(1st Cir. 1996), rev'g

908 F.Supp. 92

(D.R.I. 1995), we conclude that the district court properly granted summary judgment on the remaining procedural due process issue. We reach this conclusion essentially for the reasons stated by the district court in the Memorandum and Decision dated August 7, 1998, and we do not need to embellish upon those reasons. The appellants' particular arguments do not persuade us otherwise. The appellees' motion for summary disposition is granted. The judgment is affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
