OPINION

PER CURIAM:

The government’s petition for rehearing is granted, the opinion of November 30,1993 at 10 F.3d 649 is withdrawn, and the following opinion is substituted in its place.

Paul G. Shultz appeals the district court’s judgment in favor of the government in his quiet title action under 28 U.S.C. § 2409a. Shultz argued that he has a right-of-way across Fort Wainwright to get back and forth between Fairbanks and his property under either R.S. 2477, 43 U.S.C. § 932, or Alaska common law, or both. Because we ultimately agree with the district court that Shultz has not sustained his burden to factually establish a continuous R.S. 2477 route or a right-of-way under Alaska common law, we affirm the district court. We do not reach Shultz’s argument that the district court erred by holding that his action was time-barred by 28 U.S.C. § 2409a(g).

AFFIRMED.
