     Per Curiam.  LTX Corporation, a Massachusetts manufacturer of

semi-conductor testing equipment, brought suit in United States

District Court in Massachusetts for breach of contract and

negligent supervision against Daewoo Electronics, Ltd., a Korean

manufacturer of various electronic products, and Daewoo

Corporation, a Korean company that distributes products for Daewoo

Electronics internationally.  The district court dismissed the

action for lack of personal jurisdiction, pursuant to Mass. Gen. L.

ch. 223A,  3 (1993) and Mass. Gen. L. ch. 223,  38 (1976), and

for forum non conveniens.  It also concluded that any prospective

service conforming to the requirements of  38 would not surmount

the hurdle of lack of general due process jurisdiction.  LTX

appeals these rulings and the district court's refusal to permit it

discovery on the jurisdictional issue.  After careful review of the

briefs, the complaint, the district court order, and the applicable

case law and statutes, we affirm for the reasons set forth in full

by the district court in LTX Corporation v. Daewoo Corporation, 979

F. Supp. 51 (D. Mass. 1996).
