Juliana D. Wilson, Anchorage, Alaska, for appellee.

Before HEALY and BONE, Circuit Judges, and CLARK, District Judge.

PER CURIAM.


This was a suit by appellant to recover damages from appellees for allegedly wrongful interference with his attempt to obtain from the Department of the Interior a coal prospecting permit. The suit was dismissed by the District Court for failure to state a claim entitling the complainant to relief.

The dismissal is affirmed for the reason given in the trial court's opinion, 114 F. Supp. 861.
