                            UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                                FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT

        No. 95-1529

                                    BETSY FOREST,

                                Plaintiff, Appellant,

                                          v.

                                TRANS CARRIERS, INC.,

                                 Defendant, Appellee.

                                 ____________________

                     APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

                              FOR THE DISTRICT OF MAINE

                     [Hon. Morton A. Brody, U.S. District Judge]
                                            ___________________

                                 ____________________

                                        Before

                                Selya, Stahl and Lynch,
                                   Circuit Judges.
                                   ______________

                                 ____________________

                                 ____________________

                                 ____________________

                 Per Curiam.   We have carefully  reviewed the record  in
                 __________

            this case  and  affirm the  dismissal  for lack  of  personal

            jurisdiction.   The record  indicates that, although  much of

            the  information would  have been available  to her  from the

            proper sources, plaintiff  failed to place in  the record the

            "specific  facts"  necessary  to support  her  jurisdictional

            allegation.  Boit  v. Gar-Tec Products,  Inc., 967 F.2d  671,
                         ____     ______________________

            680  (1st  Cir.  1992).    The  record  likewise  shows  that

            plaintiff never  asked that the court permit discovery on the

            limited   issue   of   personal   jurisdiction.      See  id.
                                                                 ___  __

            Consequently, plaintiff has  not met her burden, id.  at 675,
                                                             __

            of  showing  that  defendant's   contacts  with  Maine   were

            sufficiently  "substantial"  or sufficiently  "continuous and

            systematic"  so that  the exercise  of personal  jurisdiction

            over it in this case would comport with due process.

                 Affirmed.  See Loc. R. 27.1.
