           Judge Brian M. Cogan, of the United States District Court for the Eastern District
    of New York, sitting by designation.
_____________________________________
FOR APPELLANT:        Glenn R. Schreiber, pro se, Wethersfield, CT.

FOR APPELLEES:               Jeffrey A. Fritz, Day Pitney LLP, Hartford, CT.

       Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the District of

Connecticut (Warren W. Eginton, Judge).

       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED,

AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

       Glenn R. Schreiber, proceeding pro se, appeals from the dismissal of his complaint

for failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted under Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 12(b)(6). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and record

of prior proceedings, which we reference only as necessary to explain our decision to affirm.

       Although we review a challenged judgment of dismissal de novo, see Famous Horse

Inc. v. 5th Ave. Photo Inc., 624 F.3d 106, 106 (2d Cir. 2010), we conclude, essentially for

the reasons stated by the district court, that defendants were entitled to dismissal. Further,

although the district court did not offer Schreiber leave to amend, such a decision was well

within its discretion because Schreiber had already amended his complaint once, and his

subsequent filings demonstrate that leave to amend would have been futile. See Cuoco v.

Moritsugu, 222 F.3d 99, 112 (2d Cir. 2000).

       Insofar as Schreiber claims that the district court held a hearing in his absence on

Sunday, September 9, 2012, the record does not support this contention. Indeed, it

convincingly shows that the order dismissing Schreiber’s complaint was signed and dated

Friday, September 7, 2012.

                                              2
      We have considered all of Schreiber’s remaining arguments and find them to be

without merit. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.

                                       FOR THE COURT:
                                       Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
