USDC No. 1:15-CV-400 Before JOLLY, OWEN, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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

We have carefully reviewed the district court's memorandum opinion and order and the parties' briefs in light of the pertinent portions of the record. We AFFIRM for substantially the same reasons given by the district court.
