FREDERICK M. FUSCO, PLAINTIFF,v.THE CITY OF RENSSELAER, NEW YORK; MARK G. PRATT, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN HIS CAPACITY AS MAYOR OF THE CITY OF RENSSELAER, NEW YORK; BONNIE LEE HAHN, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN HER CAPACITY AS MEMBER OF THE COMMON COUNCIL AND BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF THE CITY OF RENSSELAER, NEW YORK; ALBERTINE FELTS, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN HER CAPACITY AS MEMBER OF THE COMMON COUNCIL AND BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF THE CITY OF RENSSELAER, NEW YORK; PATRICIA JACKSON, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN HER CAPACITY AS MEMBER OF THE COMMON COUNCIL AND BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF THE CITY OF RENSSELAER, NEW YORK; BRIAN STALL, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN HIS CAPACITY AS MEMBER OF THE COMMON COUNCIL AND BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF THE CITY OF RENSSELAER, NEW YORK; AND ROBERT MOONEY, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN HIS CAPACITY AS POLICE SERGEANT OF THE CITY OF RENSSELAER, NEW YORK, DEFENDANTS.
On January 12, 2003, Plaintiff Frederick M. Fusco commenced an action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging various civil rights violations arising during the course of his employment as Chief of Police for the City of Rensselaer, New York. See Compl. [dkt. # 1]. On January 8, 2004, Fusco filed an Amended Complaint slightly amending his allegations. See Am. Compl. [dkt. # 4]. Following the various defendants' motions to dismiss the Amended Complaint, this Court issued a Decision and Order dated August 13, 2004 dismissing the case in its entirety but giving Plaintiff leave to replead a Fourteen Amendment equal protection claim and a First Amendment retaliation claim. See 8/13/04 Decision and Order [dkt. # 58].*fn1 On September 13, 2004, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint repleading these two claims. See 2nd Am. Compl. [dkt. # 59]. Presently before the Court are: (1) Defendants City of Rensselaer, Mark Pratt, Brian Stall, Bonnie Hahn, Patricia Jackson, and Albertine Felts' (collectively "City Defendants") motion pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 8(a), 12(b)(1), 12(b)(6), 12(c), and 56 seeking to dismiss the claims against them in the Second Amended Complaint [dkt. # 71]; and (2) Defendant Robert J. Mooney's motion pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 8(a) and 56 seeking to dismiss the claims against him in the Second Amended Complaint [dkt. # 73]. After the Court permitted the parties a lengthy adjournment to explore settlement, Plaintiff filed his opposition to the motion [dkt. # 81-# 83]. The matter is now fully submitted. For the reasons that follow, both motions are granted and the action is dismissed.
All defendants moved, at least in the alternative, for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Notices of Motion and Defendants' arguments in support thereof clearly put Plaintiff on notice that Defendants seek a substantive evaluation of Plaintiff's claims under the Rule 56 standard. Plaintiff responded to the motions by submitting his own affidavit [dkt. # 84] and responding Local Rule 7.1(a)(3) Statements [dkt. # 82 & # 83].
Although Plaintiff argues that additional discovery is required before subjecting the case to a Rule 56 analysis, his arguments do not meet the standard set forth in FED. R. CIV. P. 56(f) and Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. v. Department of the Navy, 891 F.2d 414, 422 (2d Cir. 1989).*fn2
Further, Plaintiff responds with arguments addressed to matters beyond the pleadings. Accordingly, the Court analyzes both motions under the Rule 56 standard.
It is well settled that on a motion for summary judgment, the Court must construe the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, see Tenenbaum v. Williams, 193 F.3d 581, 592 (2d Cir. 1999), and may grant summary judgment only where "there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and ... the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." FED. R. CIV. P. 56(c). An issue is genuine if the relevant evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the non-moving party. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). A party seeking summary judgment bears the burden of informing the Court of the basis for the motion and of identifying those portions of the record that the moving party believes demonstrate the absence of a genuine issue of material fact as to a dispositive issue. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986).
If the movant is able to establish a prima facie basis for summary judgment, the burden of production shifts to the party opposing summary judgment who must produce evidence establishing the existence of a factual dispute that a reasonable jury could resolve in his favor. Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986). While the Court must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party and draw all reasonable inferences in his favor, Abramson v. Pataki, 278 F.3d 93, 101 (2d Cir. 2002), a party opposing a properly supported motion for summary judgment may not rest upon "mere allegations or denials" asserted in his pleadings, Rexnord Holdings, Inc. v. Bidermann, 21 F.3d 522, 525-26 (2d Cir. 1994), or on conclusory allegations or unsubstantiated speculation. Scotto v. Almenas, 143 F.3d 105, 114 (2d. Cir. 1998). As one legal treatise has succinctly stated, summary judgment requires the parties to "put up or shut up." Weinstock v. Columbia Univ., 224 F.3d 33, 41 (2d Cir. 2000)(quoting Fleming James, Jr. & Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr., Civil Procedure 150 (2d ed. 1977)).
The Local Rules of the Northern District provide a mechanism for the efficient resolution of summary judgment motions. See N.D.N.Y.L.R. 7.1(a)(3).*fn3 This mechanism places the onus on the parties to marshal the evidence that either supports, or defeats, the motion. Monahan v. New York City Dep't of Corrections, 214 F.3d 275, 291 (2d Cir. 2000)(The Court's Local Rules require the parties "to clarify the elements of the substantive law which remain at issue because they turn on contested facts" and the Court "is not required to consider what the parties fail to point out.")(internal quotation marks and citations omitted); see also Amnesty America v. Town of West Hartford, 288 F.3d 467, 470 (2d Cir. 2002)("We agree with those circuits that have held that FED. R. CIV. P. 56 does not impose an obligation on a district court to perform an independent review of the record to find proof of a factual dispute.")(citations omitted).
In the instant case, Defendants have submitted Local Rule 7.1 Statements of Material Facts ("7.1 Stat.") that contain specific citations to the record indicating where each fact is purportedly established. See dkt. # 71-35 (City Defendants' 7.1 Stat.); # 73-4 (Def. Money's 7.1 Stat.). In opposition, Plaintiff submitted mirrored 7.1 Statements that either admit or deny the allegations in the Defendants' 7.1 Statements, but, with one exception in each responsive 7.1 Statement, that provide no citations to the record.*fn4 That being the case, all properly supported factual allegations contained in Defendants' 7.1 Statements are deemed admitted for purposes of this motion. See N.Y. Teamsters Conference Pension & Ret. Fund v. Express Servs., Inc., 426 F.3d 640, 648-49 (2d Cir. 2005)(upholding grant of summary judgment where "[t]he district court, applying Rule 7.1(a)(3) strictly, reasonably deemed [movant's] statement of facts to be admitted" because the non-movant submitting a responsive Rule 7.1(a)(3) statement that "offered mostly conclusory denials of [movant's] factual assertions and failed to include any record citations."); Gubitosi v. Kapica, 154 F.3d 30, 31 n. 1 (2d Cir. 1998)(per curiam)(accepting as true material facts contained in unopposed local rule statement of material facts); Meaney v. CHS Acquisition Corp., 103 F. Supp.2d 104, 108 (N.D.N.Y. 2000)(deeming movant's Rule 7.1(a)(3) Statement admitted where non-movant's response "set forth no citations -- specific or otherwise -- to the record")(emphasis in original); McKnight v. Dormitory Auth. of State of N.Y., 189 F.R.D. 225, 227 (N.D.N.Y. 1999)(McAvoy, J.)("deem[ing] the portions of Defendants' 7.1(a)(3) statement that are not specifically controverted by Plaintiff to be admitted"); Osier v. Broome County, 47 F. Supp.2d 311, 317 (N.D.N.Y. 1999) (McAvoy, J.)(deeming admitted all facts in defendants' Rule 7.1(a)(3) statement where "plaintiff submitted thirteen pages of purported facts without any indication where those facts can be located in the record").
Plaintiff contends that, after he filed disciplinary charges against certain City police officers, Defendants began a conspiracy to remove him from his position as Police Chief. This conspiracy allegedly involved harsh public criticism, false accusations that Fusco investigated a homicide scene while intoxicated, false statements that the City had overpaid Fusco, and false statements to the City Board of Public Safety that the Rensselaer District Attorney was investigating Fusco. Fusco also alleges that the Defendants were rude and unprofessional to him, hired a special counsel to find a way to terminate his employment, usurped his authority as Police Chief, and ignored his communications with City officials.
The relevant uncontested facts on this motion establish the following. Chief Fusco is, and was at all times pertinent to this action, the Police Chief in the City of Rensselaer. City Defs. 7.1 Stat. ¶ 1. The Police Chief's primary duty is to control and supervise the day to day operation of the Police Department. Id. ¶ 5. The Police Chief can only be disciplined after the proffer of written charges and a trial before the Board of Public Safety. Id. ¶ 8.
In November of 2001, Mark Pratt was elected the Mayor of the City of Rensselaer and became a member of the Board of Public Safety. Id. ¶ 2. At times relevant to this lawsuit, Brian Stall; Bonnie Hahn; Albertine Felts; and Patricia Jackson were members of the City of Rensselaer Common Council, and Stall and Hahn were members of the Board of Public Safety. Id. ¶ 3. The Common Council of the City of Rensselaer is in charge of funding the Police Department, and is authorized to conduct investigations; hold hearings; and consider, discuss and pass legislation. Id. ¶ 6. The Board of Public Safety is the entity in the City that oversees and administers the Police and Fire Departments. Id. ¶ 4. Robert J. Mooney was employed by the City of Rensselaer Police Department between October 4, 1987 and December 2, 2002. Mooney 7.1 Stat. ¶¶ 35-36. He was appointed Sergeant in September, 1995 and maintained that rank until he resigned in 2002. Id. ¶ 36.
In June 2001, a female City of Rensselaer Police Officer alleged that she was sexually harassed by two fellow City Police Officers . Id. ¶ 13. The City, through the Police Chief, brought disciplinary charges against the officers involved. A lawsuit brought by the victim was settled for $200,000.00. Id. On October 5, 2001 Plaintiff filed a disciplinary charge against Defendant Mooney for sleeping on duty. Mooney 7.1 Stat. ¶ 37. A hearing was never conducted in connection with the charge against Mooney as it remained pending in December 2002 when Mooney resigned. Id. Prior to the November 2001 election, the Union then representing the rank and file police officers in the City of Rensselaer issued a vote of "no confidence" in the Police Chief. City Defs. 7.1 Stat. ¶ 16.
After Pratt was elected Mayor, the Board of Public Safety took a more active role in supervising the Police Department. City Defs. 7.1 Stat. ¶ 10. On or about December 5, 2001, the City Council voted 7-1 to appoint John Hicks as Special Counsel to investigate and advise the Common Counsel on "what role [it could] take and how it [was] empowered to respond to the controversies which exist[ed in the Police Department] with [sic] its rights delineated in the Charter and Statutes in overseeing the Police Department." Id. ¶ 29.
Shortly after the 2001 election, Sergeant Mooney approached Mayor Pratt to report his belief that the Police Chief was intoxicated while on duty at a murder investigation and provided a written statement of his allegations. Id. ¶ 17; Mooney 7.1 Stat. ¶ 37. After consultation with its Labor Counsel Elayne Gold and Corporation Counsel John Hicks, the Board of Public Safety voted to place the Police Chief on paid Administrative Leave while the allegation was investigated. City Defs. 7.1 Stat. ¶ 18; Mooney 7.1 Stat. ¶ 40. The investigation lasted approximately three weeks and no charges were ever filed against the Chief arising out of this incident. City Defs. 7.1 Stat ¶ 19. In fact, the Police Chief has not been disciplined, demoted or suspended without pay during his employment as the Police Chief. Id. ¶ 7.
Subsequently, Plaintiff filed disciplinary charges against Mooney alleging that Mooney made unsubstantiated and uncorroborated allegations concerning the Chief's condition on the night of the murder investigation. Mooney 7.1 Stat. ¶ 43.*fn5 After an arbitration proceeding in which 30 witnesses were called, the arbitrator issued a written decision in which he concluded that Mooney "had sufficient grounds to entertain a good faith belief that the policy of the department on alcohol had been violated" by Plaintiff and that Mooney "was justified in reporting his observations to the Mayor for further investigation." Id. at ¶ 44. Following one of the hearing sessions with the arbitrator on the Mooney case, Mooney's union representative held a news conference and disclosed testimony unfavorable to the Police Chief. City Defs. 7.1 Stat. ¶ 21. Mayor Pratt did not make a public statement. Id. This angered the Police Chief who stated, in sum or substance to Mayor Pratt:
"I will not tolerate this anymore;" "This is corruption and it's going to end;" and "I'm sick of you violating my civil rights over and over again; it's got to stop." Id. The Police Chief also made his own statement to the press. Id.
On or about September 4, 2002, the City Council, by a vote of 8-1, adopted a resolution of no confidence in the Police Chief. Id. ¶ 30. In November 2002, the City Charter was amended to increase the size of the Board of Public Safety from three members to five members, and a legal challenge to that amendment was rejected. Id. ¶ 22. On or about August 4, 2003, the City Council voted 9-0 to adopt a budget which approved money for a Commissioner of Public Safety. Id. ¶ 32. On or about May 15, 2002, the City Council voted 9-0 to allow officers to engage in outside employment on notice to the Police Chief. Id. ¶ 31.
On May 7, 2003, the City Council voted 10-1 to approve the commencement of a Declaratory Judgment action concerning the Police Chief's pay. Id. ¶ 27. The City had commenced, prior to the instant action, a state Declaratory Judgment action, and had moved for summary judgment in that action. Id. ¶ 28. Prior to 2004, the City's comp-time policy did not expressly provide for the rolling over or cashing out of comp-time. Id. ¶ 23. On July 24, 2004, the City Council voted 9-1 to cap compensatory time at 104 hours. Id. ¶ 24. On August 4, 2004, the City council voted 6-1 to allow employees who have more than 104 hours to retain their comp-time and be allowed to use it (but not cash it out), but they cannot accrue additional compensatory time until their comp-time levels go below 104 hours. Id. ¶ 25. The two comp-time resolutions applied to all employees, not merely the Police Chief. Id. ¶ 26.
During 2004, the Police Chief attended five of the 26 meetings of the Board of Public Safety. Id. ¶ 33. At one meeting with the Board of Public Safety, Plaintiff accused Bonnie Hahn of leaking information, which she denied, and she told Plaintiff that he was "full of shit." Id. ¶ 34. In the Amended Complaint, Plaintiff attested that "[b]ut for the defendants' unlawful conduct, [he] is happy and content in his municipal employment and intends to complete his professional career as Chief of Police." Am. Compl. ¶ 356.
A. Hostile Work Environment
The Second Amended Complaint contains two causes of action. The first, brought pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, alleges that Plaintiff was denied equal protection of the laws by defendants' conduct. In this regard Plaintiff contends that Defendants engaged in a "conspiratorial campaign to unlawfully discharge him or coerce him to resign from office ... [and] subjected him to a malicious campaign of harassment and adverse employment action, singularly from all other public officers or supervisors...." Plf. Mem. L. p. 23. The second, brought pursuant to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, alleges that Defendants retaliated against Plaintiff because he exercised his First Amendment rights to engage in protected free speech. Id. pp. 13-22. The claimed retaliation was the creation of a hostile work environment, id. pp. 6-9, 13-15, 18-19; the claimed protected free speech was Plaintiff's levying of disciplinary charges against the two City police officers for sexual harassment and the unresolved disciplinary charge against Defendant Mooney.*fn6 Id. pp. 5, 20-21; 2nd Amend. Compl. ¶¶ 39, 46.
As indicated, both causes of action proceed on the premise that Defendants, through their actions, imposed an adverse employment action on Plaintiff by the creation of a hostile work environment. However, as the Court pointed out in the August 13, 2004 Decision and Order, the fact that Plaintiff did not like the criticism that others in the community (including some public officials) leveled against him does not, alone, amount to an adverse employment action. SeeDiaz v. Weill Med. Ctr. of Cornell Univ., 2004 WL 285947, at *21 n. 30 ("[I]t is well-settled that a negative evaluation alone is not an adverse employment action."); Jenkins v. New York State Dep't of Corr., 2002 WL 205674, at *6 (Employer's reprimand for plaintiff's use of an unauthorized parking space may have caused plaintiff embarrassment, but he "does not allege that the reprimand had any adverse impact on the actual performance of his duties."); Islamic Soc'y of Fire Dep't Pers. v. City of New York, 205 F. Supp.2d 75, 85 (E.D.N.Y. 2002)("[C]courts in this circuit have universally rejected attempts by plaintiffs to show an adverse employment action based simply on the plaintiff's personal feelings about the employers actions.")(citing cases). As further pointed out on the Rule 12(b)(6) motion,
[a] plaintiff bringing a hostile work environment claim must ultimately demonstrate a specific basis for imputing the conduct creating the hostile work environment to the employer. [Feingold v. New York, 366 F.3d 138, 151 (2d Cir. 2004)]. The Amended Complaint, with its numerous alleged conspiracies and contentions of public and private statements against Fusco's continued service as Chief of Police, yields the nearly unmistakable impression that his grievance is not with the actions of the City qua employer, but with the various defendants in the exercise of their First Amendment rights. . . .
While Plaintiff uses the legal conclusion throughout the Amended Complaint that he was caused to suffer "adverse employment action," it is unclear what conduct he contends affected the terms and conditions of his employment as opposed to affecting his reputation or his feelings. Further, assuming arguendo that the City of Rensselaer (acting through its mayor or legislative body) could inflict an adverse employment action upon Plaintiff, there is little if any factual basis to conclude that the majority of the defendants - even if they wanted to retaliate - played any role in the "adverse employment actions" that Plaintiff supposedly endured. See [Deters v. Lafuente, 368 F.3d 185, 189 (2d Cir. 2004)]("[I]intent is not an issue where, as here, defendants had no authority to act. [The Mayor's] and [the Police Chief's] lack of authority means that they could not have retaliated against the plaintiffs in the manner complained of, and plaintiffs have pointed to no other evidence of retaliation."). 8/13/04 Decision and Order, pp. 24-25.
Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint and his opposition to the instant motion do little to fill the void that existed in the Amended Complaint. In this regard, Plaintiff fails to identify severe or pervasive action within the workplace taken by the defendants qua employer that altered the terms and conditions of his employment. Rather, most (if not all) of the conduct Plaintiff complains of by Defendants, when boiled to its core, is either public criticism directed at him (and, therefore, is conduct protected by the First Amendment, see Kaluczky v. City of White Plains, 57 F.3d 202, 210 (2d Cir. 1995)), or constitutes legitimate governmental scrutiny of him. While Plaintiff cloaks his challenge to his detractors' criticism as "unlawful conduct," see Am. Compl. ¶ 356, and asserts that it made his "life a living hell," Fusco Aff. ¶ 5, he merely makes broad, conclusory allegations that he suffered an adverse change in the conditions of his employment. Here, the uncontested facts reveal little in the way of changes in job duties or responsibility, and much in the way of public criticism that Plaintiff simply did not like.
Still further, the factual basis for the asserted "hostile work environment" is undermined by Plaintiff's own sworn statement that "[b]ut for the defendants' unlawful conduct, [he] is happy and content in his municipal employment and intends to complete his professional career as Chief of Police." Am. Compl. ¶ 356. While the Plaintiff need not establish that the harassment arose to such a severe level that he felt compelled to resign, Terry v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 128, 148 (2d Cir. 2003), he must produce sufficient evidence from which a fair minded juror could conclude that the defendants intentionally made the conditions in the workplace both objectively and subjectively hostile, and that the harassment was severe and/or pervasive. Fairbrother v. Morrison, 412 F.3d 39, 48 (2d Cir. 2005); Feingold, 366 F.3d at 149; see Patterson v. County of Oneida, 375 F.3d 206, 225 (2d Cir. 2004)("Most of the core substantive standards that apply to claims of discriminatory conduct in violation of Title VII are also applicable to claims of discrimination in employment in violation of ... the Equal Protection Clause"). Given Plaintiff's attestation that he was (at the time he filed his action) happy and content in his position, together with the uncontested fact that Plaintiff has not been disciplined, demoted or suspended without pay during his employment as the Police Chief, no reasonable fact finder could conclude that the Defendants' actions, either singularly or en toto, created conditions so severe or pervasive so as to alter the conditions of Plaintiff's employment and create an abusive working environment. Therefore, both claims fail on this essential element. Nevertheless, assuming arguendo that Plaintiff could establish the creation of a hostile work environment, both claims fail on other essential elements as discussed below.
B. Equal Protection "Class of One" Claim -
The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment requires that the government treat similarly situated persons alike. Nielson v. D'Angelis, 409 F.3d 100, 104 (2d Cir. 2005)(quoting Harlen Assocs. v. Inc. Village of Mineola, 273 F.3d 494, 499 (2d Cir. 2001)). Although most Equal Protection Clause claims are brought by members of protected or suspect classes, membership in such a class is not essential and a plaintiff may proceed on a "class of one" theory. Village of Willowbrook v. Olech, 528 U.S. 562, 564 (2000). In this regard, a plaintiff may state a "class of one" equal protection claim by alleging that he has been treated differently from similarly situated individuals. Id. Plaintiff proceeds on the Olech "class of one" theory. In order to succeed on such a claim, Plaintiff must show that the treatment he received was intentional and without any rational basis. Id.
Claims based on a "class of one" require a plaintiff to show an extremely high level of similarity between himself and a comparable person. Nielson, 409 F.3d at 104. The Second Circuit requires a plaintiff and the comparable person be "prima facie identical in all relevant respects." Id. at 105 (quoting Purze v. Village of Winthrop Harbor, 286 F.3d 452, 455 (7th Cir. 2002)).
The Second Circuit explained that the reason for demanding this high standard of similarity in Olech claims is that the "existence of persons in similar circumstances who received more favorable treatment than the plaintiff is offered to provide an inference that the plaintiff was intentionally singled out for reasons that lack any reasonable nexus with a legitimate governmental policy." Nielson, 409 F.3d at 104. In effect, "[t]he similarity and equal protection inquiries are ... virtually one and the same in ... a 'class of one' case." Id.
Accordingly, the Second Circuit restated the requirements that an Olech plaintiff must establish as follows:
(i) no rational person could regard the circumstances of the plaintiff to differ from those of a comparator to the degree that would justify the differential treatment on the basis of a legitimate government policy; and (ii) the similarity in circumstances and difference in treatment are sufficient to exclude the possibility that the defendant acted on the basis of a mistake.
Nielson, 409 F.3d at 105.
Blackhawk Security, Inc. v. Town of Hamdon, Conn., 2005 WL 1719918, at *3 - *4 (D. Conn. July 22, 2005).
In the instant case, Plaintiff has failed to identify any person that is substantially similar to him, let alone someone who is "prima facie identical in all relevant respects," and has failed to identify the dissimilar treatment between himself and his hypothetical comparator(s). Instead, he makes broad, conclusory allegations that he "was treated differently from all other tenured supervisory municipal police officers and officials." Plf. Mem. L. pp. 21-22; see 2nd Amend. Compl. ¶ 185 (Plaintiff was "intentionally treated differently from other police officers, a similarly situated police chief or other municipal department heads."). Such unsupported allegations are insufficient to withstand Defendants' summary judgment challenge. Plaintiff's role as a policymaking head of the Rensselaer Police Department substantially distinguishes him from other Rensselaer police officers, municipal workers, and even police agency heads of other municipalities. Rank and file police officers are not charged with overseeing an entire department, investigating departmental abuses, or interacting with the municipal government. Department heads of other municipalities are not "prima facie identical" because each municipality contains its own unique problems and politics. The issue is not whether Defendants' treatment of Plaintiff was proper under the circumstances, see Bizzarro v. Miranda, 394 F.3d 82, 88-89 (2d Cir. 2005)("Olech does not empower federal courts to review government actions for correctness."), but whether Plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence from which a reasonable finder of fact could conclude that "no rational person could regard the circumstances of the plaintiff to differ from those of [the] comparator to the degree that would justify the differential treatment on the basis of a legitimate government policy." Nielson, 409 F.3d at 105; see Blackhawk Security, 2005 WL 1719918, at *5 ("[T]he relevant question is whether [plaintiffs] and [the Comparator] are so similar that no rational person could regard their differential treatment as justified on the basis of a legitimate governmental policy.")(citing Nielson, 409 F.3d at 105)(emphasis is original). Because Fusco has provided no evidence of sufficient similarity, an essential element of his "equal protection claim" is lacking. Thus, the Court concludes that based on the undisputed facts of this case, no rational jury could find that Plaintiff has satisfied the first prong of the Nielson test. See Blackhawk Security, 2005 WL 1719918, at *5 ("On the undisputed facts, the Court concludes no reasonable juror could find that Plaintiffs have satisfied this onerous standard.")(citing Nielson, 409 F.3d at 105) .
C. First Amendment Retaliation Claim
Plaintiff's First Amendment retaliation claim also fails on a substantive element. To establish such a claim, Plaintiff must show that he spoke on matters of public concern, Connick v. Myers, 461 U.S. 138, 146 (1983), and that the employer took an adverse employment action because of the speech. White Plains Towing v. Patterson, 991 F.2d 1049, 1058 (2d Cir. 1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 865 (1993); seeCobb v. Pozzi, 363 F.3d 89, 102 (2d Cir. 2004)(To establish a prima facie case of First Amendment retaliation, a public employee must establish that (1) his speech addressed a matter of public concern; (2) he suffered an adverse employment action; and (3) there was a causal connection between the speech and the adverse employment action.). Thus, the initial inquiry is whether the speech was on a matter of public concern and, therefore, protected by the First Amendment.
Whether speech is protected depends on its context, form and content. Connick, 461 U.S. at 147-48. Speech by a public employee is on a matter of public concern, and protected by the First Amendment, if it relates "to any matter of political, social, or other concern to the community." Id. at 146 . "However, speech that relates primarily to matters of personal interest or internal office affairs, in which the individual speaks as an employee rather than as a citizen, will not support a First Amendment retaliation claim." Kelly v. City of Mount Vernon, 344 F. Supp.2d 395, 402 (S.D.N.Y. 2004). Speech that arises in the usual course of a public official's duties is generally not protected. See Cahill v. O'Donnell, 75 F. Supp.2d 264, 273 (S.D.N.Y. 1999)("A communication by an employee to an employer in the course of the employee's normal duties, in routine form, and containing standard contents, is not likely to address a matter of public concern."). As the Supreme Court has stated: "To presume that all matters which transpire within a government office are of public concern would mean that virtually every remark -- and certainly every criticism directed at a public official -- would plant the seed of a constitutional case." Connick, 461 U.S. at 147-49.
While the determination of whether speech is protected "may be somewhat fact-intensive, it presents a question of law for the court to resolve." Johnson v. Ganim, 342 F.3d 105, 112 (2d Cir. 2003). As indicated above, Plaintiff's purported protected speech consisted of bringing disciplinary charges against two City police officers for sexual harassment, and bringing disciplinary charges against Defendant Mooney for purportedly sleeping on the job. Neither of these incidents amounted to matters of public concern. In this regard, it is well settled that a single claim of employment discrimination does not, in itself, constitute protected speech. See Saulpaugh v. Monroe Cmty. Hosp., 4 F.3d 134, 143 (2d Cir. 1993)(finding that employee's complaints of sex discrimination did not implicate matters of public concern because they "were motivated by and dealt with her individual employment situation"); Walker v. New York City Transit Auth., 2001 WL 1098022, at *12 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 19, 2001)(rejecting the argument that all complaints relating to race or gender discrimination implicate matters of public concern). Similarly, speech about individual or isolated problems within a police department, or one of its officers, are not matters of public concern. Cahill, 75 F. Supp.2d at 272 (internal office affairs are not matters of public concern.). While a claim of systemic or endemic problems in a public department might rise to the level of protected public speech, see Collins v. Christopher, 48 F. Supp.2d 397, 408 (S.D.N.Y. 1999)(collecting cases), Plaintiff has failed to marshal evidence indicating that his speech was intended to address anything more than the isolated events concerning the conduct of the three employees in issue. Indeed, despite that there was some turmoil within the Police Department during the time that the events in issue unfolded, there is no indication that there was endemic sexual harassment or sleeping on the job by officers, or that Plaintiff intended his "speech" on these incidents to address endemic or systemic problems in the Police Department. In fact, in Plaintiff's affidavit in opposition to the pending motion, he denies that there were problems in the Police Department. See Fusco Aff. ¶¶ 16-17.
Further, as the Chief of Police, Plaintiff was responsible for levying disciplinary charges against officers who transgressed the rules of the work place. The uncontested facts on this motion indicate that the context in which Plaintiff "spoke" on these issue was wholly within the scope of his normal duties as the Chief of Police and not on a matter of public concern. See Kelly, 344 F. Supp.2d at 403 (finding that a police officer's investigations into illegal firearms which involved the mayor's son and the child of another police officer were not protected speech because they arose during a normal police investigation). Thus, the claim arising from Plaintiff's levying of disciplinary charges against Police Officers fails on the first prong of the prima facie case.
To the extent that Plaintiff's First Amendment retaliation claim is based upon the vague contention that Defendants' retaliated against him because he made "public comments about the defendants' retaliatory and discriminatory actions against him," Plf. Mem. L. p. 21 (emphasis added), the claim also fails to meet the public concern test. It is well settled that issues of personal importance to a public employee are not matters of public concern. Connick, 461 U.S. at 149; see Munafo v. Metropolitan Transp. Auth., 2003 WL 21799913 at *8 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 22, 2003)(Generally, "an employee's protests about the conditions of his or her own employment situation do not rise to the level of public concern necessary for First Amendment protections to attach."). "The fundamental question is whether the employee is seeking to vindicate personal interests or bring to light a matter of political, social, or other concern to the community." Collins, 48 F. Supp.2d at 409. "'Even as to an issue that could arguably be viewed as a matter of public concern, if the employee has raised the issue solely in order to further his own employment interest, his First Amendment right to comment on that issue is entitled to little weight.'" Cahill, 75 F. Supp.2d at 273)(quoting White Plains Towing Corp., 991 F.2d at 1058). Plaintiff has failed to present any evidence from which a reasonable fact finder could conclude that his "public comments about the defendants' retaliatory and discriminatory actions against him" were made for any reason other than to further his own situation. Accordingly, to the extent the First Amendment retaliation claim is based upon speech about Defendant's treatment of Plaintiff, it too fails under the first prong of the prima facie case.
For the reasons set forth above, Defendants' motions for summary judgment are GRANTED and the action is DISMISSED.

Most truck drivers make their career their life. They eat, sleep, and breathe every road, highway, and interstate of this vast and diverse country. They can tell you what sunrise looks like in Phoenix, and tell you what sunset looks like in Miami. From the view through a windshield, the country looks much different. Drivers see only passing glimpses of their surroundings. They leave just as quickly as they came, unnoticed to the everyday lives of those arround them.
My job is to educate, empower, and help to employ any driver that I can. While still new to trucking, I have dedicated much of my free time to learning more about the industry, and to finding anything I feel would be of aid. It is in such a regard that I write this month's article not on the material success of a truck driving career, but rather on how drivers can choose to function while participating in a driving career.
Now, I'm not talking manners or phone etiquette, or suggesting finishing truck driving schools. What I want each driver to consider, however, is the steps they can make to take an active role in the functionality of the industry. Once upon a time truckers stuck together through good and bad times, and there was more to the industry then insurance rates and mountains of frustration.
I'm here to say that once upon a time can be now. By getting involved in your industry, you stop becoming a victim of circumstance, and start becoming the ebb and flow of business. You become equipped to handle more, and to make more – simply by giving more.
Getting involved in a not-for-profit organization like Trucker Buddy can not only make a positive impact on some very excited grade schoolers, but leave the trucker buddy driver with a sense of purpose, honor, and empowerment. Trucker Buddy takes regular drivers with a valid CDL and turns them into pen pals and teacher aids. Simply by writing a letter each week, a trucker buddy can educate his classroom on a wealth of topics about our country, about the trucking industry, and about life itself. Students not only gain an appreciation for the industry, but learn valuable facts about trucks that help make roads safer when the young generation starts driving.
Becoming a part of an association like the Owner Operator Independent Driver's Association (OOIDA) is a good way to stay educated and informed about the industry. As they say on their website, "Be a part of the solution!" The OOIDA dedicates themselves to getting involved in every issue that has anything to do with trucking (both good and bad). They testify at major court hearings, take an active role in legislative activities on both the state and federal level, and participate in conferences and organizations pertaining to the industry.
Taking a part in some of the numberous charitable events
throughout the industry held each year, such as the Tennesee
Trucking Association's "Big Rigs for Little Kids Golf Tournaments",
not only gives you the chance to meet other drivers and industry
partners, but gives you the chance to donate your time to a great
cause! For some of these events, simply showing up is enough to
make a difference, so be sure to ask the trucking association in
your area about upcoming activities.
If you still want to get involved, but can't seem to find your niche – make your own! The industry needs a few movers and shakers to get the ball rolling sometimes, so it might as well be you. Get some friends together and start a Bible Study, a movie club, anything you want! It's your industry, so claim it!
For more information on the Trucker Buddy organization, you can call 800-MY-BUDDY, or go online to www.truckerbuddy.org. For more information on the OOIDA you can call 800-444-5791 or go online to www.ooida.com. To find the trucking association in your area, go online to www.everytruckjob.com and click on "trucking associations".

Today I decided to use the other set of lenses that I got from PhotoJojo. This lens is the Macro one and it is actually a two part lens. You can unscrew the wide angle part and just use the macro part. I will probably use the wide angle one tomorrow but on my Kodak PlayTouch. I also decided to shoot my Optimus Prime RPM too. I like the look of the grill and the flames. Yeah I like the flames on Prime.

Hey Drew, long time no comment. :) Nice add-on lens, I remember reading about that one in particular some time ago. Just picked up a Droid X for myself and I'm feeling pretty inspired by the 8MP camera. Thinking about revitalizing mygpscameraphone, so I'll keep you in the loop as to what may (or may not) be happening there.
Sold it a few months ago.moving on to other things, like bringing back the old site.
I like the idea of lenes for the phone. How easy do they mount? I have a iphone.

|Key Info
This secluded and very private property looks over the enchanting bay of the extreme tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, that is Punta Campanella. This is the closest point to the Isle of Capri, which is the dominating feature of the spendid views enjoyed from the house.
The surrounding area is a protected National Park; it is close to a WWF zone and is therefore a true oasis of peace, immersed in the Mediterranean scrub and olive trees. A downhill walk, very steep at the end, starts at the entrance gate and leads to the pebbly beach below. If you feel too lazy to go down for a swim, you can plunge into the small pool and enjoy the sea view from the terrace or just relax in the garden under the shade of an olive tree.

The Sorrento Peninsula, arguably one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean, can be divided ideally between the side facing North, looking at the Gulf of Naples and the Amalfi side, facing South and looking towards the Gulf of Salerno. There is much more to it, though, than the lovely towns of Sorrento and Positano. All around the Peninsula there is a whole world to be discovered, still relatively unknown to mass tourism. Seven villages and many hamlets, each with their own history and traditions, are spread over a large area, most of which is under the municipality of Massalubrense. Looking over Capri the Bay of Naples, this area hosts some of the most exclusive villas of the Peninsula, offering a unique combination of idyllic, peaceful countryside and proximity to the more famous resorts of Positano, Sorrento and Capri.
Along the coast are small pebbly beaches, enchanting bays and sheltered coves, that can be best explored on hired boats
Massalubrense is the main municipality of the Peninsula and is a heaven for food lovers. Many eating houses, ranging from Michelin star restaurants to local trattorie, invite to savour the beautiful food of this fertile land and local shops display an abundance of fresh produce. During summer, every village hosts festivals; walking tours available (also individual).

Property description
With a spectacular location on 12 beautifully landscaped and maintained acres, in the foothills between Santa Rosa and Healdsburg, Montebello Heights Estate is a newer Tuscan-themed, 4200 sq. ft. 4br/3.5ba, two-story home, with central heat and AC, and many custom features and special amenities, both indoors and out. This stunning home's special features include a spectacular gourmet kitchen, high ceilings throughout, beautiful architectural details, arched and rounded entryways, and recessed lighting, to name but a few.
Covered with lovely interior design elements and furnishings, this Estate provides both a private downstairs suite and the large private upstairs master suite has an ensuite bath and balcony to enjoy forever southwesterly views of the Santa Rosa plain from the home and its surrounding park-like environment. The large outdoor entertainment area includes a freestanding spa, bocce ball court, patio with furniture, granite pathways, beautiful landscaping, and on and on!
Sitting in a quiet hillside cul-de-sac in a gated 14-Estate home community, this lovely home is just minutes from Hwy 101 and a short 15-minute drive to Healdsburg. As the design of the home optimizes the beautiful views, you enter the home from the backside, through the entry gate, covered entry porch, and into the interior courtyard with double, full-glass French doors to your left leading to the kitchen and living room area, a large lovely wooden main entry door with high windows for ambient light, and a a third door to the right also provides a separate entry to the main level suite.
Come on in the main entry door and be wowed by the marble tiled floor, and the stunning wrought iron, decorative, banistered, semi-circular stairway which leads to the second floor. To the left of the entry hall on the main level is the fabulous professional kitchen with two granite-topped islands, each with its own sink and KitchenAid dishwashers. The double-sized built-in SubZero side-by-side fridge/freezer has a separate unit for each. Abundant, underlit, cherry cabinetry provides plenty of storage and a convenient built-in Sharp microwave.
The 'heart' of this beautiful kitchen is the professional, stainless steel Wolf 6-burner double oven range with griddle, beautiful lit hood, and a decorative backsplash with pasta pot-filling spigot up on the wall behind. Beside the range is a built-in warming tray, as well, to keep your cooked foods warm while your feast is in preparation. Additional kitchen amenities include a professional knife set, Keurig coffeemaker, toaster, blender, Delonghi coffeemaker, and plenty of pots, pans, plateware, glassware, and all you will need for preparing your feast, but for your 'vino and vittles'.
At the back of the kitchen is the informal in-kitchen dining area with an oval table for 6 and a ceiling fan/light combo. The interior garage door here provides access to the attached garage. The kitchen is open to the large, beautifully decorated, and furnished living room/media room with two cream leather sofas, two red leather arm chairs, a ceramic logged gas fireplace with granite mantle, abundant windows facing the south with spectacular views, and a full glass door that leads to the home's expansive outside entertainment area. For your viewing pleasure, this room has a 47" Panasonic HD flat panel TV with Dish network and a Panasonic blu-ray player, in a built-in entertainment center. An Onkyo receiver provides audio with speakers in the ceilings of the living room, dining room, and Master bedroom, all with their own in room volume controls.
Moving back to the center of the main level, find the beautiful, formal dining room with a large square glass table and seating for 8, on top of a lovely decorative rug over hardwood flooring. A lovely custom chandelier lights your dining table and 3 windows and double, full-glass French doors all facing south provide beautiful views and ambient light. The French doors also open to the covered patio and large entertainment area.
To the right of this special dining space is the entertainment room with built-in cabinets, bookshelves, and granite-topped wet bar. You and your guests are sure to enjoy playing pool on this room's Olhausen 7' oak pool table. This room is also graced with a ceramic logged fireplace with granite mantle, a leather chair and ottoman providing space for a quiet read, and double, full glass French doors lead to the entertainment area's patio. A convenient half bath is just next door.
Completing the main level is a lovely suite which includes its bedroom with a comfy new queen bed, a media room with a queen size leather sleeper sofa, zebra upholstered lounge, and a tall table with 3 bar stools just across this suite's hallway. Entertainment in this room is provided by a Phillips 42" HD LCD TV with Dish. Next up in this suite's hallway is a full bath with large, glass-doored, walk-in, tiled shower and a single-sinked vanity. The main level suite is completed by the indoor laundry.
Now on up the beautiful stairway to the second level's Master Suite, two guest bedrooms, and a third full, shared bath. At the top of the stairs is a circular landing with a beautiful chandelier above and a round glass display table as an artistic touch. At the far right end of the hall is the Master Suite with a lovely king size bed, matching nightstands, and double, full-glass French doors opening to a small balcony with forever southwesterly views. The window treatments are silhouette shades for privacy and for reducing the light when you want to sleep in or nap.
The Master bedroom has a wall-mounted 37" HD TV with Dish and a red upholstered oval lounge provides a place to curl up for a quiet conversation or a good read. The ensuite bath is stunning with marble tiled floors and is beautifully accented with marble-topped king & queen single-sinked vanities. An oversized soaking tub provides for warm, bubbly relaxation, and a large, double, walk-in, glass-doored, freestanding shower has both standard and wanded showerheads, as well as wall showerheads for the deluxe body wash.
From the Master down the upstairs hallway, toward the entry side of the house, first on the right is the first guest bedroom with queen bed. This room has lovely wainscoting and a double closet. Next up is the shared full bath with beautifully tiled shower over tub and an arched shower curtain to provide a little extra shoulder room when showering. This room also has a single-sinked, tile-topped vanity and a full wall mirror. There are built-in hallway linen cupboards above and below with another wet bar.
Lastly, at the end of the hall in the front of the house is a lovely second guest bedroom (the 4th bedroom) with king bed, plantation shutters for beauty and light control, and some wainscoting detail as well. Just opposite this bedroom is a study with work desk and chair, plantation shutters, a futon sofa which folds down to a full size bed, and 2 twin beds for the young ones.
Let's go on outside to this grand home's large, very private entertainment area. Attached to the south side of the home is a deck with outdoor furniture including a sofa, 2 chairs, and a coffee table. This is also your grilling station with a charbroil propane grill and a small briquette grill for the purists. The entertainment area is on a gentle slope and is tiered with several levels.
The upper level next to the home is the beautifully landscaped entertainment area with flowering, deer-resistant plantings and edged, decomposed granite pathways. An outdoor table for 6 provides for a cup of coffee, a card game, or what you will. Outdoor lights light up this space at night and you can follow the flowing pathway as it moves gently downhill. Three sets of stairs take you down to a beautiful and well maintained bocce ball court.
A large flat area here provides for enjoying your bocce with a seating area as well, and all under the canopy of beautiful, mature California oaks, madrones, and a few redwoods and other conifers. The property continues its gentle slope moving downhill here, with Mother Nature's paradise all around, and you are likely to see California quail, wild turkeys, raptors, abundant birdlife, deer, squirrels, and a whole variety of wildlife indigenous to Sonoma County.
We simply cannot say enough about the incredible views available from most rooms in the house and the large outdoor entertainment area, as well. At night, you see a carpet of lights on the valley floor and the sunsets are nothing less than glorious. The Montebello Heights Estate is a great 'home base' for enjoying Sonoma County's Wine Country.
Enjoy charming and historic Healdsburg, the 'crown jewel of Wine Country, just 10 miles north via Hwy 101 with its historic Plaza surrounded by Redwoods, many activities including outstanding dining and shopping, and famed wine growing regions of the Dry Creek, Alexander, and Russian River Valleys all nearby. Traveling east, you can explore Calistoga (17 miles) and St. Helena (25 miles); the Silverado Wine Trail travels through the vineyards with more World Class wineries and leads to the city of Sonoma (27 miles southeast), with the city of Napa just a little further (48 miles southeast).

REINSW has lodged a written submission in response to the draft Property, Stock and Business Agents Regulation 2014 (NSW) issued by NSW Fair Trading in May 2014.
"The last time the Property, Stock and Business Agents Regulation was updated was back in 2003, so it is now severely outdated, particularly when you consider how property is transacted today" REINSW CEO Tim McKibbin said.
"The current Regulation does not allow for agents to use contemporary technology in order to transact property and needs to be amended so that it is relevant to the way business is now conducted."
The Regulation Impact Statement provided by NSW Fair Trading outlines that the Property, Stock and Business Agents Regulation will be amended to bring it up-to-date with the times, particularly in relation to modern technology.
"Paperless transactions have been on our radar for a long time and we have raised the issue with the NSW Government on numerous occasions," Mr McKibbin said.
"In this day and age, electronic signatures and the ability to complete and finalise documents electronically is a must."
REINSW agrees with the intention of the draft Regulation and with the majority of changes presented. However, some amendments require further attention in order to give the effect to the true intention of the changes.
"REINSW is conscious of some unnecessary complexity in the draft Regulation and has asked for certain provisions that are unworkable, convoluted, obsolete and repetitious to be rectified," Mr McKibbin said.
"REINSW sees the proposed updates to the Regulation as an opportunity for the regulatory environment to catch up with property profession's, the industry's and consumers use of technology and the way property is transacted today."

Simple Hamburger Helper
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
This dish can be made with any number of vegetables. This meal is as simple as Hamburger Helper, but homemade so more healthy.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- 3 cups pasta
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- In a large pot cook pasta according to package directions until almost ready, drain water.
- Fry hamburger until it is no longer pink.
- Mix hamburger in to the pasta. Add soup, milk and green pepper until well blended.
- Cover and simmer until pasta is completed cooking.
Most Helpful
As simple as it gets and tasty. Mine was a little bland, but it may have been because I used the "healthy" version of the soup (low salt, etc.) A little added salt or soy sauce went a long way. I will make this again, but might try spicing it up or adding more sauce.
This was good for a quick meal. I put an additional 1/2 c water and also about 1/2-1c mozz. cheese at the end. I omitted the green pepper and put in a can of green beans, and some onion salt. Also...baked some tater tots and put those on top after it was done. Kind of a quick tater tot casserole...good!
These are ingredients I usually have on hand and perfect for a quick yet satisfying meal. I served a garden salad with this and the meal was complete. Thanks for sharing, Sam#3.

Informations about the XLM filename extension and the file formats associated with it
We collected the information you should know about the .xlm filename on this page. If you were sent a(n) .xlm file in an e-mail, but you don't know what to do with it, then you can find help here. We strive to suggest free, open-source applications that are available to everyone for the file formats.
1 filename extension(s) are in our database
.xlm - Microsoft Excel Macro
The XLM file is a Document file, which is connected to the Microsoft Excel Macro according to our registry. With the adequate settings, the Microsoft Excel Macro (.xlm) files can be opened or converted with the help of Microsoft Excel.
- Format description:
- XLM format description not yet available

Important! Programs other than the ones listed above may also use the .xlm file extension. Even harmful programs can create files with the .xlm extension to store data in them. Always be careful with .xlm files coming from unknown sources. Don't open executable files that arrived in mails, even if you know the sender.
The .xlm file can't be opened on your computer?
If the program necessary for opening the .xlm file is installed properly on your computer, then the quickest and simplest way to open the .xlm file is to double-click on the file's name. If that doesn't work, then the right software probably isn't installed on your computer.
While opening the .xlm file, you may receive an error message from the associated application, this can be caused by the following:
- The .xlm file might have been damaged during download. Try downloading the file again.
- It's possible that the .xlm file was created with a newer version of the application. If you're not using the newest version, then try updating the applicationi.
- The file's access rights aren't properly adjusted. Check the file's access rights.
- Harmful programs may have modified the associations for the filename extensions. Run a virus check on your computer.
- The Windows registry's database is damaged. With the help of Windows System Restore, you can return to a previous state with system settings that still work.
Incorrectly given .xlm extension
The .xlm filename extension can be given incorrectly sometimes. The cause of the error could be a mistake or a simple typo. We found the following incorrectly given filename extensions that are the most frequent in the case of .xlm files.
alm, xom, xml, xll, xim, lm, clm, xpm, xmm, xm, xlk, slm, dlm
Maybe you're not even looking for the .xlm file extension?
It's possible the the file's extension was given incorrectly. Below, we list some filename extensions that are similar to the .xlm extension. It's possible that the one you're looking for is among them.
- .xl
- XBLite Source Code
- .alm

Fake Customs
Recession led me to crime – Fake Customs official
The Police in Ogun State on Monday nabbed a self-professed Assistant Comptroller of the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS.
The 55-year-old man, Mr. Ariyo Wasiu, who was arrested in the Agbara area of the state, has duped many unsuspecting Nigerians.
The state police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the arrest, said the suspect, a resident of Lagos Island, was dismissed six years ago from the Mechanic Department of the customs for an act of indiscipline.

Davey RichardsWesley David Richards
- Birthdate: 03/01/1983 (age 33)
- Height: 5'8"
- Weight: 208 Ib
He is best known for his time in Ring of Honor,...
Some feel that Richards suffered the injury during his tag-team match against The Ascension in WWE NXT. The injury appeared to happen when Richards was dropped on his head, as there was apparently immediate concern that he was hurt. Richards was checked out after the match, however, and apparently had not suffered any serious injuries.
Apparently nobody had heard anything else until the news came out that he had pulled out of his scheduled appearance with NOAH.

December 20, 1937
OSBURNv.UNITED STATES
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Illinois; Walter C. Lindley, Judge.
Before EVANS, SPARKS, and MAJOR, Circuit Judges.
EVANS, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff enlisted February 6, 1918, and the injury which is the basis of his disability occurred December 16, 1918, while he was in the war service in France. He and his comrades had been unloading freight cars on a narrow gauge railroad. One of the cars was off the track, and he, with the others, attempted "to put it back." He says it tipped back upon him and he caught and attempted to hold it with both hands upraised, but that "it bore him down and mashed him down."
Plaintiff was 47 years of age, and unmarried, at the time suit was filed August 3, 1932. He had filed his claim with the Bureau January 5, 1931, which claim was rejected July 25, 1932. Plaintiff had a grade school education.He had worked as a rodman or surveyor for the United States before the war. After his return from the war he engaged chiefly in fishing, in partnership with another, and earned therefrom approximately $2,000 over a period of thirteen years.
The District Court's opinion set forth in great detail the complete medical and work record of the plaintiff, and makes a thorough analysis of the evidence. From our study of that statement and the evidence presented on the trial, we are convinced that the findings have the support of substantial evidence and cannot be disturbed.
The judgment is affirmed.
