Narrative:

During cruise, at FL350, an ECAM message engine #1 oil filter clog appeared. All other engine indications were normal. Through comrdo we did a phone patch with maintenance and dispatch. After discussing the engine indications with maintenance, it was determined that we could continue to our scheduled destination. Approximately 20 mins later, we had a compressor stall. The #1 engine surged momentarily, then went back to 'normal.' at this time, we made the decision to divert to denver. We made another call to dispatch and maintenance, telling them what happened and our decision to divert. After another 5 mins, when we were on a direct course to dvv VOR, 150 mi south, descending through FL310, the engine seized. Indications were 0% N2 and 0 oil psi. We did the items on the ECAM checklist, reported the complete engine failure to ATC, then to dispatch. The captain directed the flight attendants to do a cabin advisory. We landed in denver uneventfully 20 mins later.
