                 Per Curiam.  The  judgment is affirmed substantially for
                 __________

            the  reasons enumerated by Chief Judge DiClerico in his order

            dated September 16,  1996.  Appellant has  advanced no reason

            to   question  the   careful  analysis   of  claim-preclusion

            principles  there set  forth.   The contention  that appellee

            waived or forfeited such  defense by failing to assert  it in

            timely fashion,  see, e.g., Calderon Rosado  v. General Elec.

            (citing Restatement  (Second)  of Judgments    26(1)(a)),  is

            raised for  the first time  on appeal.   We thus review  that

            claim for "plain error" indicative of a "clear miscarriage of

            justice."  Playboy Enterprises,  Inc. v. Public Serv. Comm'n,

            906 F.2d 25, 40 (1st Cir. 1990) (internal quotation omitted).

            We see neither plain error nor a miscarriage of justice.

                 Affirmed.  See Loc. R. 27.1.
