OVERVIEW
Today’s case — a diversity suit governed, the parties agree, by Massachusetts substantive law — arises from the efforts of plaintiff HSBC Realty Credit Corporation (USA) to recover $8.1 million from defendant J. Brian O’Neill under a guaranty. A district judge struck O’Neill’s defenses, dismissed his counterclaims, denied him leave to replead, and granted HSBC judgment on the pleadings. O’Neill appeals. But after saying what needs to be said, we affirm.
