    The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Norman E. Dickinson's lawsuit against Oram Lawry. Dickinson filed the lawsuit pro se under 42 U.S.C. 1983, which allows civil rights lawsuits against state actors, but the court found that Dickinson's complaint failed to assert facts necessary to sustain a 1983 claim. The magistrate judge had recommended dismissing the case on March 12, 1993, and the district court accepted and confirmed that recommendation on March 31, 1993.
