Before JONES, DUHÉ, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.




                                2
PER CURIAM:1

     Ronald and Madeline Moss and Lucille Ventura (hereinafter

referred to as “Plaintiffs”) appeal from the district court’s grant

of summary judgment for the defendants regarding the plaintiffs’

respective and consolidated lawsuits filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants violated the Due Process

Clause by removing the plaintiffs’ respective children from their

summer school sessions.    This court reviews a grant of summary

judgment de novo.   See Green v. Touro Infirmary, 992 F.2d 537, 538

(5th Cir. 1993).

     Ventura brought a previous action based on the same instant

facts in Louisiana state courts, which was denied.     The instant

claims presented by Ventura are therefore barred under the doctrine

of res judicata.    See Travelers Ins. Co. v. St. Jude Hosp. of

Kenner, La., Inc., 37 F.3d 193, 195 (5th Cir. 1994).       Summary

judgment was properly granted to the defendants as to Ventura’s

claims.

     Assuming without deciding that the Due Process Clause is

applicable to a summer school session, the evidence shows that

Bobby Moss received the requisite notice and opportunity to be

heard before she was removed from summer school.       See Goss v.

Lopez, 419 U.S. 565, 581-84 (1975).      Because there was no due

     1
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

                                 3
process violation, summary judgment was properly granted for the

defendants as to Moss’s claims.   Accordingly, the district court’s

judgment is AFFIRMED.

     AFFIRMED.
