PER CURIAM:
Seapak filed suit below against Industrial Technical and Professional Employees, a division of the National Maritime Union, seeking a declaratory judgment that it was not in violation of its collective bargaining agreement with the union. A breach of contract action pursuant to Title 29, U.S.C. § 185(a), filed by the union on the same date in the Southern District of New York, was transferred to the Southern District of Georgia under Title 28, U.S.C. § 1404(a). Upon cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court denied Seapak's motion and granted summary judgment in favor of the union. This appeal followed.
The opinion-order of Chief Judge Lawrence, Seapak, a Division of W. R. Grace Corporation v. Industrial, Technical and Professional Employees, Division of National Maritime Union, AFL-CIO, 300 F. Supp. 1197 (1969), sets forth the background of the controversy and ably and adequately explicates the reasons for his decision. We adopt his opinion.
Affirmed.
