TOKYO, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor ( NSANF ) is

expected to announce a planned streamlining of its executive

line-up on March 12, according to three people familiar with the

matter.

The struggling Japanese automaker is not currently expected

to announce the resignation of Chief Executive Office Makoto

Uchida as part of that reshuffle of its executive line-up, the

people said. All three people declined to be identified because

the information has not been made public.
