Having thoroughly reviewed the record and appellant’s brief on appeal, we affirm the dismissal of the appellant’s complaint substantially for the reasons stated by the district court. We add that, in view of the dismissal of appellant’s previous civil action, (i.e., Donald Michael Lynch v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, No. 00-cv-11675), appellant’s renewed claims against the Commonwealth are barred by res judicata. The many new allegations that appellant makes on appeal are not properly before us. See United States v. Barnett, 989 F.2d 546, 554 (1st Cir. 1993).

Affirmed. See Local Rule 27(c).
