    Howard W. Sessions, pro se.

    defendants-appellees.
    Before MEDINA, FRIENDLY and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Plaintiff, a former administrative assistant to the Director of the Connecticut


    State Welfare Department, appeals from the dismissal of his declaratory
    judgment action to review the constitutionality of the Connecticut Merit System
    Act, Title 5, Conn.Gen.Stat. (rev.1958) and from the denial of his request for a
    three-judge court to hear the case. The gravamen of his complaint is that his
    constitutional rights were infringed by the application of the procedures
    resulting in his dismissal pursuant to Title 5, supra.

    We affirm on Judge Clarie's opinion below, D.C., 293 F.Supp. 834.

    Affirmed.
