      Per Curiam.  We have carefully reviewed the record in this

    case, including the briefs of the parties.  We find no abuse of

    discretion in the district court's denial of the motion for a

    new trial.  Therefore, the denial of the motion is summarilyaffirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
