Annotate this CaseJohn M. Atkins on brief pro se.
David C. Casey, Elena E. Salzman and Peckham, Lobel, Casey, Prince & Tye on brief for appellee.
Before TORRUELLA, Chief Judge, STAHL and BOUDIN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
On appeal from an adverse summary judgment, appellant assigns a single error: that the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for discovery under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(f). After a careful review of the record, we see no abuse of the court's considerable discretion to manage pretrial proceedings. See Carreiro v. Rhodes Gill & Co., Ltd., 68 F.3d 1443, 1446 (1st Cir. 1995). Appellant offered no basis to believe that further discovery would raise a trialworthy issue. Id. at 1449.
Affirmed.
