Per Curiam.  Having  reviewed the record and considered

                    __________



          the  parties' briefs, we are fully persuaded that the court below



          did  not err  in  granting  summary  judgment  in  favor  of  the



          defendant.  Since  the reasons underlying this ruling are clearly



          set  forth in the  district court's  opinion, see  Salas-Rijos v.

          we  need go  no further.   Instead,  we  affirm the  judgment for



          substantially the reasons elucidated by Chief Judge Cerezo in her



          well-reasoned rescript.


Affirmed.
