    This document summarizes a court case from the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The plaintiff, Raymond R. Gadreault, appealed a district court ruling in favor of defendants, which included the Chief of Police for the Palmer Police Department. The appellate court affirmed the lower court's judgment for the defendants in three sentences or less, stating that as a lower court they were bound by Supreme Court precedent, including Briscoe v. LaHue, and could not independently assess the constitutionality of Supreme Court decisions. The appellate court affirmed the judgment for the defendants for the same reasons provided by the magistrate and district court.

    United States Court of Appeals,


    First Circuit.
    April 1, 1993.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    Massachusetts
    Raymond R. Gadreault on brief pro se.
    Kimberly M. Saillant and Morrison, Mahoney & Miller on Motion for
    Summary Affirmance for appellees.
    D.Mass.
    AFFIRMED.
    Before Breyer, Chief Judge, Torruella and Cyr, Circuit Judges.
    Per Curiam.

    Plaintiff argues that Briscoe v. LaHue, 460 U.S. 325 (1983), is an


    unconstitutional decision. As a lower federal court, we are bound by Supreme
    Court decisions and cannot independently assess their constitutionality. The
    judgment for defendants is affirmed substantially for the reasons stated by the
    magistrate and district court.

    Affirmed.
