PER CURIAM

     This    case   represents   an   appeal   by   the   appellant    of   the

district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Alpha

Pro Tech, Inc.      The two basic findings were that no enforceable

contract existed between appellant and appellee, and no service was

rendered to justify a quantum meruit award.           We review a summary

judgment motion de novo.     After reviewing the record and the dis-

trict court’s bench ruling we find no reversible error. According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.             Snyder v.

Alpha Pro Tech, Inc., PJM 96-1932 (D. Md. August 12, 1997).
