Per Curiam. Wilfred Roy French has appealed a
district court judgment granting summary judgment in favor of
the defendants. We review the district court's grant of
summary judgment de novo. Manarite v. City of Springfield,
957 F.2d 953, 955 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 837
(1992). Upon review of the parties' briefs and the record on
appeal, we affirm the district court judgment, essentially for
the reasons stated in the district court's memorandum and
order, dated March 28, 2000.1
Apart from his appellate brief, French has filed a
motion asking for leave to file a "supplemental exhibit." Our
review is confined to the record on appeal and we do not
ordinarily consider material that was not presented to the
court below. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(a). The motion is,
therefore, denied. We add that, in any event, consideration
of that exhibit would not affect the outcome of this appeal.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
