    The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of Gilbert Gaudreau's libel complaint against Commercial Credit Corp. and denial of his post-judgment motion. The complaint asserted libel in conclusory terms but failed to state a libel claim because Gaudreau did not describe any allegedly libelous statements. Despite a magistrate's report warning that the complaint was too skeletal, Gaudreau failed to remedy this deficiency. The appeals court found the complaint was properly dismissed.
