Per Curiam. We have carefully reviewed the record in __________

this case and affirm the dismissal for lack of personal

jurisdiction. The record indicates that, although much of

the information would have been available to her from the

proper sources, plaintiff failed to place in the record the

"specific facts" necessary to support her jurisdictional

allegation. Boit v. Gar-Tec Products, Inc., 967 F.2d 671, ____ ______________________

680 (1st Cir. 1992). The record likewise shows that

plaintiff never asked that the court permit discovery on the

limited issue of personal jurisdiction. See id. ___ __

Consequently, plaintiff has not met her burden, id. at 675, __

of showing that defendant's contacts with Maine were

sufficiently "substantial" or sufficiently "continuous and

systematic" so that the exercise of personal jurisdiction

over it in this case would comport with due process.

Affirmed. See Loc. R. 27.1. ________ ___
