Per Curiam. Having reviewed the entire record, ___________

including the transcript of the June 30, 1995 truncated

deposition at which plaintiff claims he was harassed, we

summarily affirm the dismissal of plaintiff's action for the

reasons stated in the district court's April 11, 1996

memorandum and order. Plaintiff was not unfairly treated at

the deposition and plaintiff was afforded multiple

opportunities to complete the deposition. When plaintiff

failed without any adequately documented justification to

appear for the rescheduled deposition, the court did not

abuse its discretion in dismissing plaintiff's action.

Affirmed. Loc. R. 27.1. ________
