Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Wilfred Roy French has appealed a district court judgment granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants. We review the district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo. Manarite v. City of Springfield, 957 F.2d 953, 955 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 837, 113 S.Ct. 113, 121 L.Ed.2d 70 (1992). Upon review of the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal, we affirm the district court judgment, essentially for the reasons stated in the district court’s memorandum and order, dated March 28, 2000. 1

Apart from his appellate brief, French has filed a motion asking for leave to file a “supplemental exhibit.” Our review is confined to the record on appeal and we do not ordinarily consider material that was not presented to the court below. See Fed. R.App. P. 10(a). The motion is, therefore, denied. We add that, in any event, consideration of that exhibit would not affect the outcome of this appeal.

The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

1 . We grant the motion of defendant-appellee Tim Hall for leave to join the brief filed by his co-defendants-appellees.
