PER CURIAM.


Laura A. McClellan was removed from her position in the Internal Revenue Service as an officer-intern. She brought this suit in the District Court attacking her removal as illegal and seeking reinstatement with back pay. The court found that the removal was "in accordance with the applicable law and regulations, and that all applicable procedural requirements were met in effecting her discharge." She had availed herself of all applicable administrative procedures for review in the agency and before the Civil Service Commission.

We find no error. Hargett v. Summerfield, 100 U.S.App.D.C. 85, 243 F.2d 29 (1957), cert. denied 353 U.S. 970, 77 S. Ct. 1060, 1 L. Ed. 2d 1137; Williams v. Cravens, 93 U.S.App.D.C. 380, 210 F.2d 874 (1954), cert. denied Williams v. Robbins, 348 U.S. 819, 75 S. Ct. 30, 99 L. Ed. 646; Powell v. Brannan, 91 U.S. App.D.C. 16, 196 F.2d 871 (1952)
