                 Per Curiam.  Pro se plaintiff Alfredo Pagan-Astacio
                 __________   ___ __

            appeals a district court order that granted the United States

            Department  of  Education  summary  judgment   and  dismissed

            plaintiff's  complaint.    Plaintiff  contends  that  the DOE

            violated  the  Freedom of  Information  Act, 5  U.S.C.    552

            (a)(1)(D), by failing to publish  in the Federal Register the

            National Defense,  National Direct and Perkins  Loan Programs
            _____________________________________________________________

            Revised   Directory   of  Low-Income   Schools   for  Teacher
            _____________________________________________________________

            Cancellation  Benefits.    We  have thoroughly  reviewed  the
            ______________________

            record and  the parties' briefs  on appeal and  conclude that

            such publication is  not required for  the reasons stated  in

            the district  court's opinion.  Accordingly,  the judgment of

            the district court is affirmed.
