           Appeal from the United States District Court

Before JONES and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges and FELDMAN, District
Judge:*

PER CURIAM:**



     *
          District Judge of the Eastern District of Louisisna,
sitting by designation.
     **
          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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
           The court has carefully considered this appeal in light

of the briefs, oral arguments and pertinent portions of the record.

Having done so, we find no reversible error of fact or law in the

district court’s order denying immunity.           The statutes cited by

Gonzales County are equivalent to the “naked grants of authority”

and   “enabling   statutes   by   which   myriad   instruments   of   local

government across the country gain basic corporate powers”, that

were at issue in Surgical Care Center of Hammond, L.C. v. Hospital

Service District No. 1 of Tangipahoa Parish, 171 F.3d 231, 236 (5th

Cir. 1999) (en banc).    As such, we find the analysis of Surgical

Care binding and are unable to conclude that the county is shielded

from antitrust immunity by virtue of its statutory authority to

contract with wrecker services.

           The appeal is DISMISSED, and the case is REMANDED for

further proceedings.
