Casilla v. N.Y.S. Dept. of Labor
Casilla v. N.Y.S. Dept. of Labor
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
Jose Casilla appeals from a judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Buchwald, J.) on November 7, 2006. Casilla sued the New York State Department of Labor alleging race, color, and national origin discrimination. Casilla failed to describe the basis of his discrimination claims with any level of specificity, despite being ordered to do so by the district court. Casilla’s complaint was therefore dismissed for failure to comply with a discovery order pursuant to Rule 37(b)(2), Fed.R.Civ.P. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history, and the issues on appeal.
Casilla does not specifically challenge the district court’s order dismissing his complaint. Issues not presented on appeal are considered abandoned. Fed. R.App. P. 28(a)(5); Higazy v. Templeton, 505 F.3d 161, 168 n. 7 (2d Cir. 2007). Casilla’s appeal is worthy of dismissal on this ground alone.
Accordingly, we hereby AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
