Drake v. New York

668 F. App'x 623
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided September 16, 2016·No. No. 15-20690 Summary Calendar·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:*

Eric Drake, pro se, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his lawsuit against the State of New York and its governor, Andrew Cuomo. Drake raises a series of claims. Even accepting Drake’s factual allegations as true, all of his claims are implausible. Thus; the district court properly dismissed his claims. See Century Sur. Co. v. Blevins, 799 F.3d 366, 372 (5th Cir. 2015) (“In the Fifth Circuit, fairness requires that a litigant have the opportunity to be heard before a claim is dismissed, except where the claim is patently frivolous.” (emphasis added)). AFFIRMED.
