           Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Western District of Louisiana
                        USDC No. 01-CV-1184

Before GARWOOD, JOLLY and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     4-Mali L.L.C. (“4-Mali”) appeals the district court’s judgment

dismissing its complaint claiming flood insurance coverage.              The

district court held that 4-Mali’s claims were not covered by a

Standard Flood Insurance Policy (“SFIP”), and that, in any event,

4-Mali   had    failed   to   comply   with   the    SFIP’s    procedural

requirements.     We hold that the district court did not err in

finding that 4-Mali’s failure to provide a proof of loss statement

within sixty days of the flood precludes coverage.        See Gowland v.

     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
Aetna, 143 F.3d 951, 953-54 (5th Cir. 1998).   As such, we need not

evaluate the scope of the SFIP’s coverage.     The judgment of the

district court is therefore

                                                          AFFIRMED.
