        [Hon. F. Dennis Saylor, IV, U.S. District Judge]


                                  Before

                   Thompson, Selya, and Barron,

     Christopher J. Trombetta, with whom Law Office of Christopher
J. Trombetta was on brief, for appellants.

July 29, 2019
            PER   CURIAM.   This   appeal   is   controlled   by   the

plausibility requirement.   See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662,

678 (2009); Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007).

Accordingly, we affirm the district court's dismissal of the

plaintiffs' complaint for essentially the reasons stated in the

district court's plausibility analysis.      See O'Neill v. United

States, 328 F. Supp. 3d 16, 22-24 (D. Mass. 2018).



Affirmed.   See 1st Cir. R. 27.0(c).
