Per Curiam. Appellant has no federal
____________

constitutional right to appellate review of a state lower

court decision. McKane v. Durston, 153 U.S. 684, 687 (1894).
______ _______

Regardless whether or not the New Hampshire Supreme Court

chooses to review a state court ruling, lower federal courts

lack jurisdiction to review state court decisions. The

dismissal of appellant's action is affirmed for the reasons

stated in the magistrate's August 17, 1993 report.

Affirmed.
