           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                     Civil Docket #H-99-CV-510
_________________________________________________________________
                         February 13, 2001

Before REYNALDO G. GARZA, DAVIS, and JONES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

           The court has considered this appeal in light of the

briefs, oral arguments, and pertinent portions of the record.

Having   done   so,   we   find   no   reversible     error   and    affirm   for

essentially     the   reasons     stated   by   the   district      judge.    In

particular, we conclude that this case falls within the narrow

range of cases cited by the Supreme Court in Reeves v. Sanderson

Plumbing, 530 U.S. 133, 120 S. Ct. 2097, 2105 (2000), in which any

direct or circumstantial evidence of age discrimination is far

     *
            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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
overshadowed   by   the   employer’s   evidence   of   legitimate   non-

discriminatory grounds for Wright’s demotion. Summary judgment was

therefore properly granted to the defendant.

          AFFIRMED.
