PER CURIAM.


This appeal is from a summary judgment for the defendant (appellee) in an action whereby Miss Terry (appellant) sought an order (1) declaring removal from her civil service position to be invalid and (2) restoring her to said position. She complains that proceedings resulting in her removal violated the Act of August 24, 1912, c. 389, § 6, 37 Stat. 555, as amended June 10, 1948, c. 447, § 6(a), 62 Stat. 354, 5 U.S. C.A. § 652, and U. S. Civil Service Commission Regulations § 9.102, 5 C.F.R. § 9.102 (1949 ed.), for failure to charge a removable cause and for insufficiency and uncertainty in the proceedings in form and substance to meet requirements of the law.

Examination of the record of the removal proceedings leads us to agree with the trial judge that there was substantial compliance with the applicable law. Accordingly the judgment is

Affirmed.
