MEMORANDUM*


2
For the reasons set forth in the district court's order of October 17, 1991, we affirm the dismissal of Saroza's suit for forum non conveniens.


3
Saroza's arguments with regard to the law of the flag (see Opening Brief at 11, Reply Brief at 12) and the signing of ship's articles (see Opening Brief at 11, Reply Brief at 6-7) were not raised in the district court, and we therefore deem them waived.


4
The facts Saroza sought to establish through additional discovery (see Opening Brief at 8-9) could not have affected the district court's choice of law analysis, and there was thus no abuse of discretion in denying his discovery request.


5
AFFIRMED.
