PER CURIAM:

       When this case was on appeal the first time, we affirmed the

dismissal of Fidelity's claims against Chicago Title for conversion

and unjust enrichment, but we remanded for further proceedings on
Fidelity's claims for breach of fiduciary duty and civil conspir-

acy.   See Fidelity Nat'l Title Ins. Co. v. Chicago Title Ins. Co.,
No. 94-2308 (4th Cir. Aug. 4, 1995). On remand the district court,

after allowing further discovery, granted Chicago Title's separate
motions for summary judgment on the two remaining claims. Fidelity

appeals from the judgment order entered August 13, 1996.     After

considering the joint appendix, the briefs, and the arguments of

counsel, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's

two opinions.   See Fidelity Nat'l Title Ins. Co. v. Chicago Title
Ins. Co., Civil No. S-94-1541 (D. Md. Apr. 22, 1996), and Fidelity

Nat'l Title Ins. Co. v. Chicago Title Ins. Co., Civil No. S-94-1541

(D. Md. Aug. 13, 1996).
