             _______________________________________
                        November 28, 2001

Before KING, Chief   Judge,   DAVIS,   Circuit   Judge,   and   VANCE,*
District Judge.

  *
    District Judge of the Eastern District of Louisiana, sitting
by designation.
PER CURIAM:**

       After reviewing the record and considering the briefs and

argument of the parties, we affirm the judgment of the district

court for the following reasons:

       1. We are satisfied that the district judge did not abuse his

discretion in declining to recuse himself.

       2.   Essentially for the reasons stated by the district court

in its Memorandum Opinion and Order of September 21, 2000, the

district court correctly granted summary judgment for the Madison

County      School   District   and   denied   plaintiff’s   request   for

attorney’s fees.

       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
