We have read the briefs in this case, listened attentively to oral arguments, and reviewed the record with care. We conclude, without serious question, that the district court appropriately granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The material facts are not genuinely in dispute. The legal principles that govern this case are well-settled and the district court applied those principles faultlessly. Consequently, we summarily affirm the judgment below, substantially for the reasons set forth in the district court’s bench decision of November 5, 2003, and its sub *194 sequent memorandum and order dated November 6, 2003.

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