PER CURIAM:
On December 22, 1999, we certified the controlling question in
this case to the Texas Supreme Court. 199 F.3d 190 (5th Cir.
1999). The question certified was:
Under the Texas Constitution, may a home equity lender
require the borrower to pay off third-party debt that is
not secured by the homestead with the proceeds of the
loan?
The Texas Supreme Court answered the question in the
affirmative in a unanimous opinion filed June 8, 2000, in turn
*District Judge of the Eastern District of Louisiana, sitting
by designation.

filed with this court on June 12, 2000. The Texas Supreme Court by
order of August 24, 2000, denied a motion for rehearing. That
order was filed in this court on August 28, 2000. The posed
question having been answered by a final decision of the Texas
Supreme Court, the judgment of the United States District Court
dismissing the case is AFFIRMED.
