Appeal from the United States District Court

(98-CV-400)
March 22, 2001
Before GARWOOD, PARKER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

-- 1 of 2 --

*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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under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.

PER CURIAM:*
Having considered the briefs, record and argument of counsel,
the court concludes that under the particular facts here no abuse
of the trial court’s broad discretion has been shown in the instant
denial of class certification. The denial was based on a full
evidentiary hearing following extensive discovery, came after
refusal to dismiss on motion, and was clearly grounded ultimately
on the exercise of discretion and not on the basis that any
decision of this court absolutely and categorically mandated
denial.
AFFIRMED
