Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana; Edwin F. Hunter, Jr., Judge.

Donald E. Walter, U. S. Atty., R. Perry Pringle, Asst. U. S. Atty., Shreveport, La., for respondent-appellant.

James J. Cox, Cox & Cox, Lake Charles, La., for petitioner-appellee.

Before WISDOM, COLEMAN, and SIMPSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

After an examination of the entire record, the District Court, in an unpublished memorandum opinion by Judge Hunter, held that there was no basis in fact for an Army finding of insincerity as to the conscientious objector claims of Jeffrey Hatton, the appellee, who was seeking a discharge.

¶2

¶3

Affirmed.
