     Per Curiam.  We have carefully reviewed the parties' briefs

and the record on appeal.  We affirm essentially for the reasons

stated by the district court in its orders of March 5, 1998 and

July 20, 1998, i.e., the grounds proffered by the defendants in

their motions to dismiss are meritorious.

     The judgment of the district court dismissing this case is,

therefore, affirmed.
