Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Before AINSWORTH, MORGAN and GEE, Circuit Judges.



This cause is an analog of No. 77-2801, Gray-Taylor, Inc., etc. v. Harris County, et al., 5 Cir., 569 F.2d 893, decided this day. In it the same plaintiff seeks like relief against officials of the City of Houston and the Houston Independent School District as it there sought against Harris County, that of their location. In this, as in 77-2801, a similar suit is pending in state court. In this, as in No. 77-2801, the district court abstained. For the same reasons stated in our opinion in 77-2801, it was right.

AFFIRMED.
