Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
(94-CV-152)
______________________________________________________
March 10, 1997
Before DAVIS, SMITH and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The district court correctly granted summary judgment in this
case. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court
for the reasons stated in its careful memorandum ruling on February
12, 1996. We also find no error in the district court's order
awarding attorney's fees and affirm that ruling based on the
magistrate's report and recommendation of May 15, 1996. We modify
that award by adding $2,500 for fees incurred in defending this
appeal.
AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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 Local Rule 47.5.4.
