SUMMARY ORDER

RULINGS BY SUMMARY ORDER DO NOT HAVE PRECEDENTIAL EFFECT. CITATION TO A SUMMARY ORDER FILED ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 2007, IS PERMITTED AND IS GOVERNED BY FEDERAL RULE OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE 32.1 AND THIS COURT'S LOCAL RULE 32.1.1. WHEN CITING A SUMMARY ORDER IN A DOCUMENT FILED WITH THIS COURT, A PARTY MUST CITE EITHER THE FEDERAL APPENDIX OR AN ELECTRONIC DATABASE (WITH THE NOTATION "SUMMARY ORDER"). A PARTY CITING A SUMMARY ORDER MUST SERVE A COPY OF IT ON ANY PARTY NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL.

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be and hereby is AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff-Appellant Carmen Segarra filed a whistleblower claim against her former employer, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and three of its employees. The district court dismissed Plaintiff's suit by memorandum-opinion dated April 23, 2014, and order dated April 24, 2014. Plaintiff now appeals.

Segarra argues principally on appeal that the First Amended Complaint should not have been dismissed because it sufficiently pleaded that Segarra was fired for reporting various unlawful acts.1 We agree with the district court that Segarra failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Further, her proposed Second Amended Complaint does not cure the deficiencies in the First Amended Complaint. We have considered Segarra's remaining arguments and conclude that they are without merit.

For the reasons stated above and in the accompanying per curiam opinion,2 the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

FootNotes


1. We find that the arguments Segarra raises for the first time in her reply brief are inadequately presented on appeal. Norton v. Sam's Club, 145 F.3d 114, 117 (2d Cir. 1998).
2. As to the accompanying per curiam, Judge Kearse concurs in result only.
