Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Nathaniel M. Gorton, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge,
Boudin and Stahl, Circuit Judges.
Ronald E. Egan on brief pro se.
Francis D. Dibble, Jr., J. Michael Scully and Bulkley, Richardson
and Gelinas, LLP on brief for appellee Athol Memorial Hospital.
Gerard R. Laurence, Karyn Polito and Milton, Laurence & Dixon on
brief for appellee Yong Min Chi, M.D.
January 6, 1998
Per Curiam. After carefully reviewing the record
and the parties' briefs, we affirm the district court's
judgment for essentially the reasons stated in its Memorandum
and Order, dated March 28, 1997. We add only that summary
judgment was proper on the antitrust claims because appellant
failed to submit any facts from which the court could
conclude, either directly or by inference, that the actions
of the appellees harmed competition in any way. See Benjamin
v. Aroostook Med. Ctr., Inc., 113 F.3d 1, 1-2 (1st Cir. 1997)
(per curiam).
Affirmed. See Local Rule 27.1
