PER CURIAM:

     James A. Geisler appeals the district court’s orders denying

his motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 and entering judgment for the

Plaintiff following a jury trial in this civil action.         We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find that

the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to

grant Geisler’s motion for a new trial.     Chesapeake Paper Products

Co. v. Stone & Webster Engineering Corp., 51 F.3d 1229, 1237.       We

decline to review Geisler’s claims challenging the district court’s

denial of his pretrial motion to dismiss.    Id. at 1234-37.   Accord-

ingly, we affirm the district court’s orders.       We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.



                                                               AFFIRMED
