PER CURIAM:

     Louis A. Rodriguez, a former resident of Queens, New York, now

residing in Alexandria, Virginia, appeals the district court’s

order granting Defendant Ridgewood Savings Bank’s motion to dismiss

his complaint.   After a review of the record, we find that the

district court properly dismissed this action for lack of personal

jurisdiction over Defendant. See Helicopteros Nacionales de Colom-

bia S.A. v. Hall, 

, 415-16 (1984).

     We accordingly affirm the district court’s order.     We deny

Rodriguez’s motion to amend his complaint and dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
