Hamilton v. Fraser ( 1998 )

[NOT FOR PUBLICATION--NOT TO BE CITED AS PRECEDENT] United States Court of Appeals For the First Circuit No. 98-1588 FREDERICK E. HAMILTON, ET AL., Plaintiffs, Appellants, v. FRASER PAPERS, INC., Defendant, Appellee. APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MAINE [Hon. Eugene W. Beaulieu, U.S. Magistrate Judge] Before Boudin, Circuit Judge, Bownes, Senior Circuit Judge, and Lynch, Circuit Judge. Michael A. Duddy with whom Kozak, Gayer & Brodek, P.A. was on brief for appellants. John D. Gleason with whom James L. Costello and Curtis Thaxter Stevens Broder & Micoleau LLC were on brief for appellee. October 14, 1998 Per Curiam. In a well-reasoned decision, the magistrate judge granted summary judgment to the defendant in the district court. We have reviewed the briefs and pertinent record documents and are satisfied that the district court correctly resolved the matter. To put the matter in a nutshell, the inferences relied on by the plaintiffs as warranting a full-fledged trial are too thin to create material issues of disputed fact. Affirmed.
