                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Southern District of Florida
                                ____________

                                (May 18, 2006)

Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      This is an appeal from a final judgment and order granting summary

judgment in favor of the Village of North Palm Beach. The district court held that

plaintiff failed to show the essential element of its claim under 42 U.S.C. §

2000cc, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, that the sign

ordinance of the Village of North Palm Beach was a substantial burden on its

exercise of religious rights. Finding no reversible error in this holding, the

judgment is due to be affirmed.

      AFFIRMED.

                                          2
