Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 989 F.2d 508 (10th Cir. 1993) March 25, 1993

Before LOGAN, MOORE and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

MOORE, Circuit Judge.


After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(e); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Our review of the record and the briefs has disclosed no error. The district court correctly held that the plaintiffs failed to assert facts to countervail the defendants' summary judgment motions. The allegations set forth in plaintiffs' brief are merely conclusive statements, not ultimate facts. Moreover, to the extent we are able to correlate those assertions to the matters contained in the briefs submitted to the district court, it appears they are raised for this first time in this court.

Appellees' motion to dismiss is DENIED. The judgments of the district court are AFFIRMED substantially for the reasons set forth in its orders dated June 11, 1992, and August 27, 1992. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
