Per Curiam.

1
Appellant has no federal constitutional right to appellate review of a state lower court decision.   McKane v. Durston, 153 U.S. 684, 687 (1894).  Regardless whether or not the New Hampshire Supreme Court chooses to review a state court ruling, lower federal courts lack jurisdiction to review state court decisions.  The dismissal of appellant's action is affirmed for the reasons stated in the magistrate's August 17, 1993 report.
