ROBERT A. KUNZ,
Appellee.
On Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio
No. 5:05-CV-511
Before JONES, Chief Judge, and HIGGINBOTHAM and SMITH, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Christa C. Lenk, Administratrix of the Estate of Ervin W.

court, followed by dismissal of her appeal to this court, was
barred by the law of the case doctrine. See Alpha/Omega Ins.
Servs., Inc. v. Prudential Ins. Co. of America, 272 F.3d 276, 279
(5th Cir. 2001).
AFFIRMED.
