[NOT FOR PUBLICATION]
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 97-1517
ROBERTO VIZCARRONDO,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PUERTO RICO, ET AL.,
Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO
[Hon. Hector M. Laffitte, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Selya, Boudin and Lynch,
Circuit Judges.
Roberto Vizcarrondo on brief pro se.
Gustavo A. Gelpi and Feldstein, Gelpi & Gotay on brief for
appellee Board of Trustees of the University of Puerto Rico.
December 8, 1997
Per Curiam. Pro se plaintiff Roberto Vizcarrondo
appeals a district court judgment that dismissed his claims
for employment discrimination as time-barred. This court has
thoroughly reviewed the record and the parties' briefs on
appeal. We conclude that the district court's judgment is
correct. Plaintiff's allegations wholly fail to state a
claim for a continuing violation. See, e.g., Morrison v.
Carleton Woolen Mills, Inc., 108 F.3d 420, 443 (1st Cir.
1997)); De Leon Otero v. Rubero, 820 F.2d 18, 19-20 (1st Cir.
1987); Collins v. United Air Lines, Inc., 514 F.2d 594, 596
(9th Cir. 1975)(refusal to reinstate employee does not render
initial violation a continuing one). Plaintiff has further
failed to support his claim for equitable tolling.
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is summarily
affirmed. See Local Rule 27.1.1
1
1As we conclude that the district court's dismissal was in
1
all respects correct on the merits, we need not resolve the
appellees' contention that this court lacks jurisdiction over
plaintiff's appeal. See United States v. Stoller, 78 F.3d
710 (1st Cir.), cert. dismissed, 117 S.Ct. 378 (1996).
