                The Honorable Raymond J. Lohier, Jr., who was a member of this panel, has
       recused himself from considering this matter. The two remaining members of the panel, who
       are in agreement, have determined the matter. See 28 U.S.C. § 46(d); 2d Cir. IOP E(b);
       United States v. Desimone, 
140 F.3d 457
(2d Cir. 1998).
FOR PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT:                      Posr A. Posr, pro se, Wilmington, DE

FOR DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES:                     Marta B. Ross, New York City Law Department,
                                              New York, NY

       Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of

New York (Patterson, J.).

       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND

DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

       Appellant Posr A. Posr, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his

complaint upon Appellees’ motion for summary judgment on the majority of his claims and

judgment on the pleadings as to his remaining claims. We assume familiarity with the facts and

underlying proceedings.

       We review de novo district court grants of summary judgment and judgment on the

pleadings. See Bank of N.Y. v. First Millennium, Inc., 
607 F.3d 905
, 914, 922 (2d Cir. 2010).

Summary judgment is appropriate only where “the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure

materials on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact

and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” 
Id. at 914
(internal quotation

marks omitted). We are “required to resolve all ambiguities and draw all factual inferences in

favor of the [nonmovant].” Cronin v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 
46 F.3d 196
, 202 (2d Cir. 1995). In

order to survive a motion for judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 12(c), a complaint “must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a

claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Bank of 
N.Y., 607 F.3d at 922
(internal quotation

marks omitted).


                                                 2
       Here, an independent review of the record and relevant case law reveals that the district

court properly granted summary judgment and judgment on the pleadings. We affirm for

substantially the same reasons stated by the district court in its June 3, 2013 opinion and order.

       We have considered Posr’s remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.

                                              FOR THE COURT:
                                              Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
