July 2, 1998







                                                Per Curiam.  Essentially for the reasons stated by

    the district court in its Memorandum and Order dated January

    28, 1998, we conclude that plaintiff's complaint properly was

    dismissed as untimely under M.G.L. c. 151B,  9.

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