  The "kinematic" morphology-density relation for early-type galaxies posits
that those galaxies with low angular momentum are preferentially found in the
highest-density regions of the universe. We use a large sample of galaxy groups
with halo masses 10^12.5 < M_halo < 10^14.5 M_sun/h observed with the Mapping
Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) survey to examine whether there is a correlation
between local environment and rotational support that is independent of stellar
mass. We find no compelling evidence for a relationship between the angular
momentum content of early-type galaxies and either local overdensity or radial
position within the group at fixed stellar mass.
