          Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
    (Berman, J.).
       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND

DECREED that the district court judgment is AFFIRMED.

       Plaintiff-Appellant Anthony Rolls, pro se, appeals from the May 7, 2008 order of the

United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Berman, J.) granting

Defendant-Appellee Pennsylvania Hotel’s motion for summary judgment. We assume the

parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and the procedural history of the case.

       We review orders granting summary judgment de novo and focus on whether the district

court properly concluded that there was no genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving

party was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Nat’l Counsel of La Raza v. Dep’t of

Justice, 411 F.3d 350, 355 (2d Cir. 2005); Miller v. Wolpoff & Abramson, L.L.P., 321 F.3d 292,

300 (2d Cir. 2003). In determining whether there are genuine issues of material fact, we are

“required to resolve all ambiguities and draw all permissible factual inferences in favor of the

party against whom summary judgment is sought.” Terry v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 128, 137 (2d Cir.

2003) (internal quotations omitted).

       After having reviewed Rolls’s contentions on appeal and the record of proceedings

below, we affirm for substantially the same reasons stated by the district court in its thorough

opinion. We have considered all of Rolls’s arguments and find them to be without merit.

       Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.


                                                      FOR THE COURT:
                                                      Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
