Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
m 1:98-CV-1917
_________________________
February 11, 2002
Before SMITH and DEMOSS, Circuit Judges,
and DUPLANTIER, District Judge.*
PER CURIAM:**
The plaintiffs appeal an injunction pre-
venting them from taking certain actions in
state court. We have reviewed the briefs and
pertinent portions of the record and have heard
the arguments of counsel. We conclude that
the district court plainly had jurisdiction. That
court did not abuse its discretion and
committed no reversible error in entering the
injunction pursuant to the rel itigation
exception to the Anti-Injunction Act.
The order granting the injunction is
AFFIRMED. We decline to award fees or
costs for vexatious litigation or frivolous
appeal.
*
District Judge of the Eastern District of
Louisiana, 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has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
