Civil Action No. 3:97-CV-276BN
_________________________
March 29, 2000
Before DAVIS, CYNTHIA HOLCOMB
HALL,* and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:**
We have reviewed the briefs and
pertinent portions of the record and have heard
oral argument. We find no reversible error on
the part of the district court either on the
merits of the dispute or on the question of
sanctions. We have nothing to add to the
district court’s able discussion of the facts and
law pertaining to this case. The judgments and
orders appealed from are in all respects
AFFIRMED.
* Circuit Judge of the Ninth Circuit, sitting by
designation.
** 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determined that this opinion should not be published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.
