April 15, 1997
Before REAVLEY, DAVIS, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Adair D. Jones appeals the district court’s dismissal of his
civil rights action as frivolous under the doctrine of res
judicata. We have carefully reviewed the record and Jones’s
brief and hold, essentially for reasons stated by the magistrate
judge, that the district court did not abuse its discretion in
dismissing the complaint as frivolous. See Jones v. Louisiana
State Bar Assn. et al, No. 96-3463-B-M2 (M.D. La. Sept. 26, 1996)
(unpublished); see also Graves v. Hampton, 1 F.3d 315, 319 (5th
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
No. 96-30236
-2-
Cir. 1993); Wilson v. Lynaugh, 878 F.2d 846, 850 (5th Cir. 1989).
The district court’s judgment is
AFFIRMED.
