*Of the District of Rhode Island, sitting by designation.
Per Curiam. In Nos. 96-1163 and 96-1164, the judgments

district court in its January 16, 1996 decision. See Loc. R.
___
27.1. We add only that the amended complaint also falters by
failing to draw a sufficient link between the wrongs

______
for recusal of Chief Judge Torruella is denied as moot.

In No. 96-1617, the judgment is affirmed substantially
________
for the reasons recited by the magistrate-judge in his April
15, 1996 report, which the district court subsequently
