Before REAVLEY, BARKSDALE and GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

       The district court properly dismissed Broussard’s claims as res judicata

       *
        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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
requires that these claims could and should have been adjudicated in the prior

proceeding. United States v. Shanbaum, 10 F.3d 305, 310 (5th Cir. 1994); Woods

Exploration and Producing Co. v. Aluminum Co. of America, 438 F.2d 1286, 1312-

13 (5th Cir. 1971).

      AFFIRMED.
