                       ____________________          Per Curiam.  After due consideration of the record,
briefs, and oral arguments, we affirm the decision on appeal on the
basis of the magistrate judge's memorandum and order.  We add only
that the magistrate judge did not abuse his discretion in denying
the defendant's belated motion to amend his counterclaims.  SeeQuaker State Oil Refining Corp. v. Garrity Oil Co., Inc., 884 F.2d
1510, 1517 (1st Cir. 1989).
          Affirmed.
