                                          v.

                     APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                          FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

                   [Hon. Douglas P. Woodlock, U.S. District Judge]
                                              ___________________

                                 ____________________

                                        Before

                                Selya, Circuit Judge,
                                       _____________

                            Aldrich, Senior Circuit Judge,
                                     ____________________

                              and Stahl, Circuit Judge.
                                         _____________

                                 ____________________

               Martin S.  Cosgrove, with whom Cosgrove,  Eisenberg & Kiley,
               ___________________            _____________________________
          P.C. was on brief, for appellant.
          ____
               Richard L. Hoffman, Assistant  United States Attorney,  with
               __________________
          whom Donald K. Stern,  United States Attorney, was on  brief, for
               _______________
          the United States.

                                 ____________________

                                  November 13, 1996

                                 ____________________

                    Per  Curiam.   On this  record, the  putative claimant,
                    Per  Curiam.
                    ___________

          appellant  here, lacks standing to file a  claim or object to the

          forfeiture.   Consequently,  the  district court  did not  err in

          granting  the  government's motion  to  dismiss her  claim.   The

          appellant's request for a stay  pending the determination of  her

          appeal  from the  denial of  her application  to be  appointed as

          receiver for James  J. Bulger, now  pending in the  Massachusetts

          Appeals  Court, is denied, as  she never timely  requested such a

          stay  in the  district court.   Should  the appellant  eventually

          succeed in securing an  appointment as receiver, she may  move in

          the  district court under Fed.  R. Civ. P.  60(b) for appropriate

          relief from the federal judgment.

                    We need go no further.  The judgment is

          Affirmed.  See 1st Cir. R. 27.1.
