                                 ____________________





























                 Per  Curiam.  Plaintiff  Russell Brown has  appealed the
                 ___________



            grant of  summary judgment in  favor of defendants.   Brown's



            appellate brief  is inappropriately  styled  as if  it was  a



            motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b).  We do not consider



            such motions  in the first instance.   In any event,  we have



            carefully  considered the parties'  briefs and the  record on



            appeal.    Nothing  that  Brown  has  raised in  this  appeal



            warrants overturning  the district  court's grant  of summary



            judgment.



                 Affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
