PER CURIAM.

1
In this appeal from the grant of summary judgment in favor of John Hancock Life Insurance, Company, we are of the view that there was no genuine issue of fact necessitating a trial.  Furthermore, for the reasons explicated by the district court, we agree with its conclusion that the Company was entitled to judgment as a matter of law.  Fed.R. Civ.P. 56(c).  The opinion of the district court, 345 F.Supp. 168, is adopted as the opinion of this Court.1

2
Affirmed.

1
 The trial court did not consider the contention made on appeal that the Company extended credit to the insured in the full amount of the overdue and unpaid premiums.  There is no evidence in the record that would support such a contention.  We therefore consider this specification of error as frivolous
