  Appeal from the United States District Court

              m H-00-CV-2302
                ____________
Before SMITH, DENNIS, and CLEMENT,
  Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

   MFE Enterprises, Inc., was awarded a
judgment, after a bench trial, for misappropria-
tion of trade secrets by Tank Consultants, Inc.
The latter appeals, raising several issues.

   We have read the briefs, applicable portions
of the record, and the pertinent authorities,
and have heard the arguments of counsel.
Finding no error in the careful explanation of
the district court, we affirm, essentially for the
reasons given by that court.

   AFFIRMED.




   *
     Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has
determined that this opinion should not be pub-
lished and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
