Terry v. Inc. Vill. of Patchogue, No. 14-3874 (2d Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff pro se filed suit alleging claims against defendants which arise out of events spanning more than a decade and principally concern the Village’s allegedly wrongful interference with his business interests and its maintenance of a police force that plaintiff believes to be unauthorized by law. The district court dismissed the complaint. The court noted that plaintiff's principal brief fails to address adequately the merits of most - arguably all - of the claims dismissed by the district court where plaintiff's filing largely fails to set out identifiable arguments in his principal belief; to the extent that plaintiff has adequately argued the merits of any claims on appeal, those arguments must be rejected; for a variety of reasons, the complaint fails to state a claim on which relief can be granted; and the court likewise was unconvinced by plaintiff's remaining arguments. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
