                 Per  Curiam.   Pro se  plaintiff  Herzl Sinai  appeals a
                 ___________    ___ __



            district  court order  that dismissed  his  complaint on  the



            ground that it has no arguable basis in law under 28 U.S.C.  



            1915(e).  This  court has thoroughly reviewed  the record and



            Sinai's brief  on appeal.   We agree  that the  complaint was



            properly  dismissed, for the  reasons stated by  the district



            court.   Accordingly, the  judgment of the  district court is



            summarily affirmed.  See Local Rule 27.1.
