Before BARNES, MERRILL and BROWNING, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


1. Appellant's I-A classification is not subject to contest here. No appeal from that classification was taken. Appellant was thus under a duty to report for induction in response to the board's original order. See McKart v. United States, 395 U.S. 185, 192-201, 89 S. Ct. 1657, 23 L. Ed. 2d 194 (1969).

2. Appellant's appearance four hours late did not constitute compliance with that order. Accordingly he was thereafter under a continuing duty to report. See 32 C.F.R. § 1632.14.

3. No delay in subsequent issuance of report orders was in excess of 120 days, so as to amount to an implied revocation of the original order to report. See 32 C.F.R. § 1632.2; see also United States v. Stevens, 438 F.2d 628 (9th Cir. 1971).

4. Appellant's dependency claim, advanced after he was ordered to report, did not present a prima facie case of a change of circumstances beyond his control. See 32 C.F.R. § 1625.2; United States v. Hulphers, 421 F.2d 1291, 1293 (9th Cir. 1969).

5. We find no error in instructions.

Affirmed.
