          Per Curiam
                               . We have carefully reviewed the parties'

briefs and the record on appeal. We affirm on grounds that

appellee Moriarty neither wilfully violated the stay nor caused

appellant Tunnicliff's injuries.

          Affirmed. Loc. R. 27.1.

    The request in Appellee's brief for costs is denied
insofar as it arises under Fed. R. App. P. 38. Appellee may be
awarded costs under Fed. R. App. P. 39 by complying with the
procedures stated therein.
