Before DAVIS, WIENER, AND BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:1

     We agree with the district court that this case is barred by

Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994).     The district court judgment

is therefore

     AFFIRMED.



     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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
