Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York

(Kaplan, J.).

ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and

DECREED that the judgment of the district court entered December 4, 2007, is AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff-Appellant Charlene Morisseau appeals from a judgment of the United States

District Court for the Southern District of New York (Kaplan, J.), entered December 4, 2007,

granting defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissing the complaint; a

Memorandum Opinion entered January 23, 2008, denying Morisseau’s motion to amend the

judgment; and an order entered February 7, 2008, denying Morisseau’s motion for

reconsideration. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the facts, procedural history, and

specification of issues on appeal.

We have considered all of Morisseau’s arguments on appeal and find them without merit.

Therefore, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

FOR THE COURT: CATHERINE O’HAGAN WOLFE, CLERK
