George Dunbar PREWITT, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE Defendant-Appellee.

No. 84-4700

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

March 8, 1985.

753 F.2d 1074

ment that is widely recognized by academic and professional employers and that is required by approximately eighty percent of college and university libraries is supported as a valid business necessity. Our review of the record indicates that the magistrate was not clearly erroneous in concluding that the ALA-MLS degree requirement had a manifest relationship to the position Merwine sought.

For the foregoing reasons, the judgment rendered below is AFFIRMED.

George D. Prewitt, Jr., plaintiff-appellant, pro se.

Wyneva Johnson, Eric Scharf, U.S. Postal Service, Washington, D.C., Glen H. Davidson, U.S. Atty., John R. Hailman, Asst. U.S. Atty., Oxford, Miss., for defendant-appellee.

Before GEE, JOHNSON, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

A careful examination of the briefs and record in this appeal convinces us that the Appellant Prewitt has received at the hands of the trial court all the relief to which he is properly entitled: back pay, retroactive seniority, and assignment to the desired position. With his presently-appealed claims to tens of millions of dollars in punitive damages against defendants enjoying immunity to such claims, to attorneys’ fees when he at all times acted pro se, and the like, we stand at the gate of the realms of fantasy. We decline to enter in.

The real controversy has ended, with Mr. Prewitt having prevailed and received appropriate relief. Further frivolous demands of the sort presented here may subject Mr. Prewitt, even as a pro se litigant, to sanctions for vexatious multiplication of litigation. See Lewis v. Brown & Root, Inc., 711 F.2d 1287 (5th Cir.1983).

AFFIRMED.
