BRACKENS, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus GLORIA BRACKENS LEONARD; GEORGIA MAE BRACKENS MCGOLTHEN; TOMMY RAY BRACKENS; DAVID LEBARON Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana No. 5:05-CV-1377 Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and OWEN, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* In this case, brought in federal court based on diversity of citizenship, the district court correctly held that Plaintiff Stacey Brackens did not allege an amount in controversy exceeding $75,000, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). The district court s order dismissing the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is therefore AFFIRMED. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
