Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana.

Before COLEMAN, DYER and RONEY, Circuit Judges.



This is a teacher employment case which has been litigated in the state courts, to and through the court of last resort. The aggrieved vocational technical teacher then attempted to renew the litigation, in the federal courts, asserting grounds which were, or might have been, litigated in the state court proceedings. The District Court dismissed the complaint. We affirm under the authority of Frazier v. East Baton Rouge Parish School Board, 5 Cir., 1966, 363 F.2d 861.

Affirmed.
