Before WISDOM, COLEMAN, and SIMPSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
After an examination of the entire record, the District Court, in an unpublished memorandum opinion by Judge Hunter, held that there was no basis in fact for an Army finding of insincerity as to the conscientious objector claims of Jeffrey Hatton, the appellee, who was seeking a discharge.
Our examination of the same record leaves us in complete agreement with the District Court. Its judgment, granting Hatton's petition for the writ of habeas corpus, is accordingly
Affirmed.
