PER CURIAM:*

            The court has considered this appeal in light of the

briefs, arguments of counsel and pertinent portions of the record.
The district court did not err in concluding that Cook failed to

establish a genuine issue of material fact concerning a procedural

due process violation.

            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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
