AFFIRMED.

Before K.K. HALL and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Welbon A. Delon appeals from the district court's order dismissing Delon's various employment discrimination claims. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Delon v. Rose, C/A No. 88-709-D-C (M.D.N.C. Mar. 16, 1989). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.* 

AFFIRMED.

 *

Delon's claim that he is a handicapped individual who was discriminated against is without merit, as are his claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1985 and the Fair Labor Standards Act. The district court overlooked the fact that Delon was terminated from his position. The discharge does not alter our conclusion that the district court properly declined to entertain Delon's constitutional challenges. This is not a case warranting an exception to the general rule that federal courts will not interfere in personnel decisions by the military
