United States Court of Appeals For the First Circuit

No. 99-1243

DANIEL R. STANTON,

Plaintiff, Appellant,

v.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND DURPHY, CUMBERLAND COUNTY JAIL PROPERTY CORPORAL,

Defendants, Appellees.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF MAINE

[Hon. Gene Carter, U.S. District Judge]

Before

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

Daniel R. Stanton on brief pro se.

May 9, 2000 Per Curiam. After a thorough review of the record

and of the appellant’s submissions, we affirm. Contrary to

appellant Daniel R. Stanton’s (“Stanton’s”) contention, the

record clearly shows that the district court did dispose of

his motions for judgment (docket nos. 55 & 57) by striking

them for non-compliance with Fed.R.Civ.P. 5. Stanton has

made no showing that the court’s decision to award relief

pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) prejudiced him or that the

delay adversely affected the proceedings, see Pioneer Inv.

Servs. Co. v. Brunswick Assocs. Ltd. Partnership,

(1993), so we find no abuse of discretion. See

Sea-Land Serv., Inc. v. Ceramica Europa II, Inc.,

(1st Cir. 1998) (order of relief under Rule 60(b)

reviewed for abuse of discretion). Stanton’s claim that

defendants/appellees failed to comply with a discovery order

is unsupported by any explanation as to why the materials in

question were important to his case or in what way they

could have changed the outcome of the litigation, so the

argument is forfeited. See Martinez v. Colon,

(1st Cir. 1995).

Affirmed. 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
