IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 92-3441
MATTHUS M. WEST,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
RESOLUTION TRUST COMPANY as Receiver
for Pelican Homestead and Savings
Association,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Louisiana
( May 20, 1994 )
Before Reynaldo G. GARZA, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:
Matthus M. West sued his former employer for sex and age
discrimination. More than seven months after West filed suit, the
Civil Rights Act of 1991 became effective. West moved for a jury
trial on his sex discrimination claim. The district court denied
that motion, but allowed this interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1292(b) to determine whether the Act's jury trial and
compensatory damage provisions apply retroactively to West's claim.
They do not. See Landgraf v. USI Film Products, No. 92-757, 1994
U.S. LEXIS 3292 (April 26, 1994).
AFFIRMED.
