Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (3:98-CV-2073-BF) September 14, 2001 Before REAVLEY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

This is a continuation of vexatious litigation. We award appellee an additional $750 in attorneys fees to be taxed against appellant, David L. Smith, together with all costs. * Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
