            Per Curiam. Plaintiff-appellant Phyllis Handy appeals

  from the dismissal of a complaint alleging violations of the

  Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C.

   1961-1968, as well as various state law claims.  In lieu of

  a brief, appellant relies on a June 15, 1998 district court

  filing opposing a motion to dismiss.  Having reviewed that

  filing, we see no basis to set aside the judgment.

            Affirmed.
