     Case: 12-10553       Document: 00512267284         Page: 2     Date Filed: 06/07/2013

                                       No. 12-10553

Before SMITH, HAYNES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*


       This dispute, ultimately decided in bankruptcy proceedings, arose from
agreements entered into for oil exploration. The defendant appeals a large dam-
age award based variously on theories including breach of contract, fraud, and
tortious interference with contract. The bankruptcy court issued a lengthy opin-
ion, containing findings and conclusions, with which the district court largely
agreed in affirming.
       We have reviewed the briefs and applicable law and pertinent portions of
the record. The judgment works no injustice under the facts as shown, and,
expressing no view on the specific reasoning of the bankruptcy and district
courts in view of the arguments presented, we find no reversible error.
       AFFIRMED.




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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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