UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 01-30137 Summary Calendar

ALVIN WASHINGTON, Plaintiff-Appellant,

VERSUS

CITY OF LAKE CHARLES; DAVID ALVIN VARNADO; LOCAL 1524 UNION, Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court For the Western District of Louisiana, Lake Charles Division (00-CV-2483) August 2, 2001 Before DEMOSS, PARKER, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Alvin Washington has appealed the district court’s dismissal of his civil rights complaint alleging that he was wrongfully terminated as an employee of the City of Lake Charles, Louisiana.

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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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

The district court dismissed the complaint without prejudice on the basis that it repeated claims raised by Washington in another case pending before the district court. Washington does not dispute the district court’s determination that his complaint was duplicative.

The appeal is therefore dismissed as frivolous pursuant to Fifth Circuit Rule 42.2. See Pittman v. Moore, 980 F.2d 994, 995 (5th Cir. 1993) APPEAL DISMISSED
