Before DAVIS, JONES, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Bank One, Texas, N.A. appeals the adverse judgment of the

district court based on its conclusion that Bank One’s claims

against   Capital     Associates     International,      Inc.     and   Capital

Associates, Inc. are barred by res judicata.              We agree with the

district court that Bank One’s claims against Capital Associates

International, Inc. are barred by res judicata and that Capital

Associates,    Inc.    is   not   liable   as   the   guarantor    of   Capital


     *
      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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
Associates International, Inc.’s obligations.   Accordingly, the

judgment of the district court is

     AFFIRMED.
