  We calculate the s-wave strong interaction $\Lambda$$\pi$ phase shift at the
$\Xi$ mass taking into account contributions from the ${{\frac{1}{2}}}^{-}$ and
${{\frac{3}{2}}}^{-}$ $\Sigma$ resonances. We find the S-wave phase shift to be
small, of the order of 0.3 degrees and bounded by 0.5 degrees.
