December 18, 1998

                                
                                

                                               Per Curiam.   Plaintiff appeals an adverse summary
    judgment dismissing his claims of discriminatory harassment and
    constructive discharge from his employment.  The district court
    granted summary judgment on the ground that even if plaintiff
    could establish a prima facie case of discrimination, he had
    failed to offer minimally sufficient proof that the employer's
    articulated, non-discriminatory reasons for its  disciplinary
    actions constituted a pretext, and that the real reason was
    prohibited discrimination.  
              Reviewing the judgment de novo, in light of the
    parties' briefs and the entire record, we agree with the
    district court's determination.  We also find no error in the
    denial of plaintiff's motions for a default judgment, and for
    an appointment of counsel.  Plaintiff's other assignments of
    error require no comment.
              Affirmed.  See Loc. R. 27.1
