Per Curiam. After careful review of the briefs and the

record, we are not convinced that the magistrate judge

committed any error. We will not second-guess the weight

accorded to the evidence or the credibility due to the

witnesses. The magistrate judge's findings and conclusions

were adequately detailed, supported by the evidence, and

consistent with the applicable law. See Clemente v.

Carnicon-Puerto Rico Management Assoc.,

52 F.3d 383, 389

(1st

Cir. 1995).

Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
