Taylor v. Vermont Dept. of Educ., 313 F.3d 768, 776 (2d Cir.2002) (quoting, Lerman v. Bd. of Elections, 232 F.3d 135, 139-40 (2d Cir. 2000)). The magistrate’s opinion expressed the determination that “even when liberally construed to name [Fernando] Maldonado, plaintiffs’ complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.” We do not review that portion of the district court ruling because it is clear that Maldonado was not a defendant.
