United States Court of Appeals For the Fifth Circuit

February 20, 2002

Before GARWOOD, JOLLY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana 99-CV-1793

PER CURIAM:*

We AFFIRM the judgment of the district court essentially on the basis of its careful Memorandum Opinion dated December 12, 2000. The res judicata defense asserted by appellant for the first time on appeal was not timely raised in the district court and therefore is waived.

All outstanding motions in this case are DENIED.

AFFIRMED.
