Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (CA-H-95-1070) ______________________________________________________

December 9, 1996 Before WISDOM, DAVIS and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges:

PER CURIAM:1

Our review of the record and the briefs in this case leads us

to conclude that the district court correctly granted summary

judgment in favor of Petroleos Mexicanos. Amtrade International

failed to demonstrate that the promissory note or the settlement

agreement was ambiguous and the district court properly refused to

consider parole evidence.

AFFIRMED.

1 Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. 2
