                 Per  Curiam.    The  order  that this  court  issued  on
                 ___________



            December 4, 1995  in appeal no. 95-2043 established  that the



            notice  of default  that  appellant   previously secured  was



            properly vacated and thus is null and void.  That default did



            not  provide   appellant  with  any  basis   for  filing  the



            bankruptcy petition  that gives  rise to the  present appeal.



            Accordingly, the judgment of  the district court is affirmed.
                                                                ________



            See Local Rule 27.1.   Appellant's request for payment  of an
            ___



            administrative expense is moot.
