                                 ____________________



                                    March 3, 1997

                                                      
                                 ____________________



































                 Per Curiam.   We have reviewed  the parties' briefs  and
                 __________



            the  record  on  appeal.    Appellant,  Arlene  Sims  Foster,



            challenges only the district  court's dismissal of her common



            law claim of wrongful discharge and her claim of  intentional



            and negligent  infliction of  emotional distress.   We affirm



            that  dismissal essentially  for  the reasons  stated in  the



            district court's order of March 15, 1996.



                 Affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
                 _________
