            Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Western District of Louisiana
                           No. 5:05-CV-1377

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

           In this case, brought in federal court based on diversity

of citizenship, the district court correctly held that Plaintiff

Stacey Brackens did not allege an amount in controversy exceeding

$75,000, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a).         The district court’s

order dismissing the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction

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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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