Per Curiam.  We have carefully considered this appeal andfind it to be without merit.  The plaintiff's complaint, construedmost charitably to him, does not state a claim arising underfederal law, and the plaintiff has demonstrated no other arguablebasis for federal jurisdiction.  We therefore summarily affirm thedismissal of the plaintiff's complaint for substantially thereasons advanced in the district court's thoughtful rescript.  SeeJohanson v. Daines, No. 97-10137-NG (D. Mass. Nov. 10, 1997)(unpublished slip op.).Affirmed.
