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).
