John M. ATKINS, Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
RAYTHEON CORP., Defendant, Appellee.

No. 95-1993.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

March 29, 1996.

John M. Atkins on brief pro se.

David C. Casey, Elena E. Salzman and Peckham, Lobel, Casey, Prince & Tye on brief for appellee.

Before TORRUELLA, Chief Judge, STAHL and BOUDIN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

On appeal from an adverse summary judgment, appellant assigns a single error: that the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for discovery under Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(f). After a careful review of the record, we see no abuse of the court's considerable discretion to manage pretrial proceedings. See Carreiro v. Rhodes Gill & Co., Ltd., 68 F.3d 1443, 1446 (1st Cir. 1995). Appellant offered no basis to believe that further discovery would raise a trialworthy issue. Id. at 1449.

Affirmed.
