Before REAVLEY, JOLLY and JONES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*



      *
        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not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in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.
      Appellant Raimund Puzonia agues that the replacement of his penile

prosthesis was a medical necessity and therefore covered under the Essilor of

America, Inc. medical plan. We agree with the district court that the record shows

that the costs of replacement were “charges in connection with the treatment of

sexual dysfunction” and were therefore excluded from coverage.

      AFFIRMED.
