            Per Curiam.  Having carefully reviewed the judgment

    in light of appellant's brief on appeal, and the entire record

    below, we affirm the judgment substantially for the reasons

    stated in the district court's Memorandum of February 25, 1998,

    and the Order of Dismissal of May 6, 1998.

              Affirmed.  See Loc. R. 27.1.
