Per Curiam. We have read the briefs in this case,
listened attentively to oral arguments, and reviewed the record
with care. We conclude, without serious question, that the
district court appropriately granted the defendants' motion for
summary judgment. The material facts are not genuinely in dispute.
The legal principles that govern this case are well-settled and the
district court applied those principles faultlessly. Consequently,
we summarily affirm the judgment below, substantially for the
reasons set forth in the district court's bench decision of
November 5, 2003, and its subsequent memorandum and order dated
November 6, 2003.
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. R. 27(c).
