           Per Curiam.    Having carefully reviewed the summary
judgment below in light of the record and the arguments on this
appeal, we agree with the district court's conclusion that the
New Hampshire Supreme Court's decision was neither contrary to,
nor an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal
law.  See 28 U.S.C.  2254(d)(1).  We add only that nothing in
Doggett v. United States, 505 U.S. 647 (1992), compels a
different result on federal habeas review.  Substantially for
the reasons stated in the district court's well-reasoned
opinion and order of September 3, 1998, the judgment is
affirmed.   See Loc. R. 27.1.
