v.
HOWARD CASE, CHIEF OF POLICE,
PALMER POLICE DEPARTMENT, ET AL.,
Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Frank H. Freedman, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Breyer, Chief Judge,
Torruella and Cyr, Circuit Judges.
Raymond R. Gadreault on brief pro se.
Kimberly M. Saillant and Morrison, Mahoney & Miller on Motion for
Summary Affirmance for appellees.
Per Curiam. Plaintiff argues that Briscoe v.
LaHue, 460 U.S. 325 (1983), is an unconstitutional decision.
As a lower federal court, we are bound by Supreme Court
decisions and cannot independently assess their
constitutionality. The judgment for defendants is affirmed
substantially for the reasons stated by the magistrate and
district court.
Affirmed.
