          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.
