MICHAEL QUIGLEY,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                                 Defendant – Appellee.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:16-CV-459

Before WIENER, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: *
       Plaintiff-Appellant Michael Quigley paid $54,635.64 to the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) for his alleged failure to pay withholding or “Trust
Fund” taxes related to former employees of Quigley’s now-bankrupt restaurant
corporation. He then filed this suit for refund of taxes, attorney’s fees, and
damages.         After     considering     the     magistrate-judge’s        Report            and

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                 No. 17-51116

Recommendation of August 2017, the district court issued its Order on Report
and Recommendation of October 19, 2017, and its final take-nothing judgment
of even date, granting the government’s partial motion to dismiss and motion
for summary judgment and denying Quigley’s motion for summary judgment.
      We have now reviewed the record on appeal, including the briefs of the
parties and Quigley’s record excerpts. Despite the cogent arguments of counsel
for Quigley as reflected in the brief and reply brief filed in this court, we are
satisfied in the end that the district court correctly and properly disposed of
this case, essentially for the analysis and reasons set forth in the Report and
Recommendation of the magistrate judge.
AFFIRMED
