ORDER

This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the briefs and record, this panel agrees unanimously that oral argument is not needed. Rule 34(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

Upon consideration, we affirm for the reasons set forth in the district court's order of August 28, 1986. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
