Wasser v. New York State Office of Vocational & Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiff-Appellant Michael J. Wasser, pro se, appeals from the August 28, 2008 judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (David G.

Specifically, despite plaintiffs arguments before us to the contrary, we find that the District
Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court is hereby AFFIRMED.
