John M. ATKINS, Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
RAYTHEON CORP., Defendant, Appellee.

No. 95-1993.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

March 29, 1996.

NOTICE: First Circuit Local Rule 36.2(b)6 states unpublished opinions may be cited only in related cases.

John M. Atkins on brief pro se.

David C. Casey, Elena E. Salzman and Peckham, Lobel, Casey, Prince & Tye on brief for appellee.

Before TORRUELLA, Chief Judge, STAHL and BOUDIN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

On appeal from an adverse summary judgment, appellant assigns a single error: that the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for discovery under Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(f). After a careful review of the record, we see no abuse of the court's considerable discretion to manage pretrial proceedings. See Carreiro v. Rhodes Gill & Co., Ltd., 68 F.3d 1443, 1446 (1st Cir.1995). Appellant offered no basis to believe that further discovery would raise a trialworthy issue. Id. at 1449.

Affirmed.
