Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. W-02-CV-47 _________________________________________________________________

Before JOLLY, DUHÉ, and STEWART, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:*

We have reviewed the record, studied the briefs and heard

arguments of counsel. We are now thoroughly convinced that the

judgment of the district court, granting summary judgment for the

defendants and dismissing the complaint, is free of error.

Consequently, its judgment is

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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