Per Curiam.      Claimant appeals from the district court's
Order, dated October 28, 1998, affirming the decision of the
Appeals Council that he was not entitled to Social Security
disability benefits.  After carefully reviewing the record and the
parties' briefs, we affirm the judgment of the district court for
essentially the reasons stated in that court's Order.  As for
claimant's argument regarding the use of the Grid, he has waived it
by not presenting it below.  See Dupuis v. Secretary of Health and
Human Services, 869 F.2d 622, 623 (1st Cir. 1989) (per curiam).
Affirmed.  See Local Rule 27.1.
