PER CURIAM.

      Harvey James Cole appeals the grant of summary judgment by the District
     2
Court in favor of defendant Upjohn Company in this product liability action. Having


         1
       The Honorable William Brevard Hand, United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Alabama, sitting by designation.
         2
       The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the District of Minnesota.
considered the appeal, we conclude the District Court did not err in deeming Upjohn's
request for admissions to have been admitted by Cole and in granting summary
judgment.

      Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
