Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's order granting

Appellee's motion for judgment as a matter of law. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the
decision of the magistrate judge. We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the deci-

sional process. *

                                                          AFFIRMED

    *
      The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge, with further appeal to this court. 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1),
(c)(3) (1988).
