Appeals from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (A-98-CV-1-SC) _________________________ January 17, 2001 Before POLITZ, SMITH, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The plaintiffs brought various claims for fraud and other violations, but the magistrate judge, sitting by consent, disagreed and grant- ed summary judgment for defendants and awarded them attorneys’ fees. We have reviewed the briefs and applicable law and per- tinent portions of the record and have heard the arguments of counsel. We find no error in the magistrate judge’s reasoning or result.

AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
