                 Per Curiam.   Maria  Felinska appeals from  the district
                 __________

            court's summary judgment dismissing her claim that her former

            employer  had  discriminated  against her  by  constructively

            discharging  her because of her  age in violation  of the Age

            Discrimination in  Employment Act, 29  U.S.C.   621  et. seq.
                                                                 ________

            The district  court ruled that  Felinska had not  presented a

            prima facie  case because, even accepting  her allegations of

            fact  as  true,  they  did  not  demonstrate  a  constructive

            discharge.  Greenberg  v. Union  Camp Corp., 48  F.3d 22,  26

            record,  we affirm substantially for the reasons given by the

            district court.
