PER CURIAM.

1
Plaintiff-appellant, Kenneth C. Hawley, brought suit against his former employer, defendant-appellee, Atlantic Cellular Telephone Corp., for damages resulting from defendant's termination of plaintiff.  Plaintiff, an account executive when discharged, brought a seven-count complaint alleging:  defamation (Count I);  intentional infliction of emotional distress (Count II); negligent infliction of emotional distress (Count III);  breach of contract (Count IV);  invasion of privacy for the public disclosure of private facts (Count V);  invasion of privacy for placing plaintiff in a false light in the public eye (Count VI);  and punitive damages (Count VII).

2
At the close of discovery, defendant moved for summary judgment on all counts save the breach of contract claim.  The district court granted summary judgment for defendant on all the counts specified in defendant's motion.  The contract claim (Count IV) was settled.  Plaintiff has appealed only the judgments on the defamation claim (Count I) and the negligent infliction of emotional distress claim (Count III).

3
After carefully reading the record and the briefs, we affirm the judgment of the district court for the reasons stated in its order dated September 2, 1994.

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
