SUMMARY ORDER

1
This cause came to be heard on the transcript of record from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and was argued.


2
ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the District Court is hereby affirmed.


3
S.C. Fertile appeals from Judge Batts's sua sponte dismissal of his pro se civil rights complaint against Ed McMahon and American Family Publishers.  The district court dismissed Fertile's suit, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(h)(3), for lack of federal jurisdiction.  We affirm for substantially the reasons stated by the district court in its Order of Dismissal dated May 10, 1995.  See Fertile v. McMahon, No. 95-Civ-2867 (DAB), slip. op.  (S.D.N.Y. May 10, 1995).
