                                 ____________________

                 Per  Curiam.   The  parties  have filed  a  joint motion
___________



            requesting that  this appeal  be submitted on  briefs without



            oral argument.  That motion is allowed.



                 We have reviewed the record on appeal, the briefs of the



            parties, and  appellant's concession  contained in its  post-



            briefing  informative  motion.     We  summarily  affirm  the



            district  court  judgment  in  favor  of  the  appellee,  Sun



            Alliance Insurance Company  of Puerto  Rico, essentially  for



            the reasons stated in  the district court opinion and  order,



            dated August 7, 1995.



                 Appellee's  request  for  appellate  attorney's  fees is



            denied  as the  request  is unsupported  by  citation to  any



            authorizing basis or developed argumentation.



                 Affirmed.  See Loc. R. 27.1.
