            ___________________                               _______________

        Assistant Corporation Counsel, City of Boston Law Department, on brief

        for appellees.

                      Per Curiam.  Upon careful review  of the record and
                      __________



            the parties'  briefs, we  conclude that summary  judgment for



            the  defendant  was proper  for  the  reasons stated  by  the



            district court.  We add only the following comments.



                      Defendant's  discovery responses do  not suggest to



            us any grounds for reversing the judgment here.



                      We cannot consider the  judgment entered in another



            action against other defendants, as that matter is not before



            us now.



                      We know  of no  basis for plaintiff's  request that



            this case be transferred to state court. 



                      Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
