                 Per  Curiam.   For the  reasons  stated in  the district
                 ___________



            court order, appellant's complaint properly was dismissed for



            want  of federal subject matter jurisdiction and the district



            court could not enjoin enforcement  of the state court order.



            Further, we find no basis for mandamus relief here.



                 The  judgment is affirmed, and the petition for mandamus
                                  ________



            is denied.  See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
