1Opinion of the Court
STAHL, Circuit Judge.
Thomas Gianfraneesco, the former proprietor of a now-defunct bar and restaurant in Wrentham, Massachusetts, sued the Town of Wrentham and a number of town officials, claiming federal civil rights violations and unfair trade practices. 1 He alleges that the defendants maliciously imposed excessive regulatory requirements on his restaurant in retaliation for his opposition to certain town policies. The district court dismissed his complaint for failure to state a claim. After careful consideration, we affirm.
