                      Per Curiam.  In this appeal, plaintiff seeks review
                      __________

            of a carefully  and fully developed decision of  the district

            court  rendered  after a  bench  trial.   After  ruling  that

            plaintiff's  lease had  been violated by  defendant's illegal

            exclusion  of plaintiff  from the  premises, the  court found

            that  plaintiff had suffered no  damages as a  result of that

            occurrence, but  that defendant  had suffered damages  in the

            amount of sixty dollars  for past due rent and  seven hundred

            dollars for exterminating services made necessary  because of

            plaintiff's inadequate  housekeeping.  The  court also  found

            that certain  other claims brought by  plaintiff were lacking

            in any substance. 

                      Plaintiff's objections  on appeal are based  on his

            challenges to factual determinations  of the court, which, of

            course,  are  accepted  unless  demonstrated to  be  "clearly

            erroneous."  See  Fed. R.  Civ. P. 52(a).   Having  carefully
                         ___

            reviewed  the record on  appeal and the  objections raised by

            plaintiff, we  are not persuaded that the court clearly erred

            in  making  the determinations  at  issue.   Accordingly,  we

            affirm based on the well-reasoned district court opinion.  

                      Affirmed.  Double costs to appellee.
                      Affirmed   Double costs to appellee
