Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York
(Brodie, J.).
UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND
DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
Appellant Carmel Spiteri, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s judgment
dismissing his complaint. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the
procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.
We review de novo the dismissal of a complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 12(b)(6), accepting all factual allegations as true and drawing all reasonable inferences
in the plaintiff’s favor. Chambers v. Time Warner, Inc.,
282 F.3d 147, 152 (2d Cir. 2002). To
survive a motion to dismiss, the complaint must plead “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is
plausible on its face,” Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly,
550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007), and “allow[] the
court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged,”
Ashcroft v. Iqbal,
556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009).
To the extent Appellant’s brief raises claims against appellees other than Michelle
Harrington or Michelle Mulligan, those claims were dismissed previously and will not be
revisited. Starbucks Corp. v. Wolfe’s Borough Coffee, Inc.,
736 F.3d 198, 208 (2d Cir. 2013).
As to the claims against Harrington and Sullivan, an independent review of the record and relevant
case law reveals that the district court properly dismissed Appellant’s claims. We affirm for
substantially the reasons stated by the district court in its thorough September 2013 decision.
We have considered Appellant’s arguments and find them to be without merit.

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court and DENY Appellant’s
several motions for judicial notice.
FOR THE COURT:
Catherine O=Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
