                      PER  CURIAM.     Plaintiff-appellant,  Kenneth   C.
                      PER  CURIAM.
                      ___________

            Hawley, brought suit against his former  employer, defendant-

            appellee,  Atlantic  Cellular  Telephone Corp.,  for  damages

            resulting   from   defendant's   termination  of   plaintiff.

            Plaintiff, an  account executive  when discharged, brought  a

            seven-count  complaint  alleging:     defamation  (Count  I);

            intentional  infliction of  emotional  distress  (Count  II);

            negligent  infliction  of  emotional  distress  (Count  III);

            breach of  contract (Count IV);  invasion of privacy  for the

            public  disclosure of  private facts  (Count V);  invasion of

            privacy  for placing plaintiff in a false light in the public

            eye (Count VI); and punitive damages (Count VII).

                      At  the close  of  discovery,  defendant moved  for

            summary judgment  on all counts  save the breach  of contract

            claim.    The district  court  granted  summary judgment  for

            defendant on all the  counts specified in defendant's motion.

            The  contract claim (Count  IV) was  settled.   Plaintiff has

            appealed only the judgments on the defamation claim (Count I)

            and  the  negligent  infliction of  emotional  distress claim

            (Count III).

                      After carefully reading the  record and the briefs,

            we  affirm the judgment of the district court for the reasons

            stated in its order dated September 2, 1994.

                      The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
                                                            AFFIRMED
