            Per Curiam.  Upon careful review of the briefs and

    record, we find no merit in appellant's contentions.  Dismissal

    of appellant's complaint was sufficiently justified by the

    reasons described in the government's motion to dismiss, which

    reasons included defendants' immunity from suit and appellant's

    failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. 

    The district court was not required to grant appellant's

    application for default in these circumstances, and we find

    appellant's allegations of judicial bias to be frivolous.

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