                                ____________________
                                 SEPTEMBER 25, 1997
                                ____________________

                      Per Curiam
                               . We have carefully reviewed the district
            court record and the parties' briefs and affirm the judgment of
            the district court for essentially the reasons set out in its
            Opinions and Orders, dated March 23, 1995 and July 9, 1996.
                      In relation to the court's grant of summary judgment
            for JT Baker Chemical Co., appellant only argues that he never
            received notice of Baker's motion; he does not claim that he
            failed to receive a copy of the district court's opinion
            granting summary judgment. By not presenting the question of
            notice to the district court in the first instance, appellant
            has forfeited appellate review of the issue.  See Johnston v.
            Holiday 
                    Inns, 
                          Inc., 595 F.2d 890, 894 (1st Cir. 1979). We
            therefore do not address the merits of the Opinion and Order,
            dated August 22, 1995.
                      Affirmed.  See Local Rule 27.1.
