Machado v. Weare Police Department
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided October 2, 2012No. 11-1147UnpublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Per curiam
Christopher Machado brought a section 1983 action against several officers of the Weare, New Hampshire Police Department. 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006). Because Machado is currently incarcerated, his complaint was subject to screening under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2006); a magistrate judge recommended dismissal and the district court agreed. Machado now appeals. Because this is effectively a motion to dismiss, we briefly describe the events based on the allegations of the complaint as well as the exhibits incorporated within it. See Cruz v. Melecio, 204 F.3d 14, 21 (1st Cir. 2000). 1
