                      Per  Curiam.   Plaintiff-appellant  challenges  the
                      ___________

            summary  judgment   dismissal  of   claims  alleging   gender

            discrimination  in  the  rejection  of  her applications  for

            admission to the  State Police Training Academy.   The claims

            were based  on theories of disparate  impact in the use  of a

            written  exam,  background   investigations  and  application

            processing,   intentional    discrimination,   and    alleged

            retaliation for the filing of administrative complaints.

                      Reviewing the  judgment de  novo, in  light of  the
                                              __  ____

            briefs, the  appendix,  and the  record,  we agree  with  the

            district court's  decision and affirm  substantially for  the

            reasons set  forth in  the  magistrate judge's  May 24,  1996

            Report and Recommendation.  See Loc. R. 27.1.
