July 21, 1998

                                
                                

                                               Per Curiam.  Omar S. Zaki appeals from summary
    judgments entered in favor of six insurance companies and
    dismissing Zaki's counterclaims.  Each insurer was granted
    rescission of one or more disability insurance policies issued
    to Zaki and, as applicable, Zaki was ordered to repay the
    benefits which he received (less premiums paid) under the
    policies.   Having carefully reviewed the judgments in light of
    the extensive briefs and the record, we share the district
    court's well-reasoned view that there was no genuine issue of
    material fact and that each insurer was entitled to judgment as
    a matter of law.  The court did not misapply state law, nor did
    it misinterpret Zaki's waiver of the policies' incontestability
    clauses.  There was no relevant factual dispute as to Zaki's
    intent.
              Affirmed.  See Loc. R. 27.1.
