    NOTICE: Fourth Circuit I.O.P. 36.6 states that citation of

    Harold G. McDONALD, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    VIRGINIA BOARD OF BAR EXAMINERS, DefendantAppellee.
    No. 87-2076.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Sept. 30, 1987.
    Decided Nov. 27, 1987.

    Harold G. McDonald, appellant pro se.


    James Thomas Moore, III, Gregory E. Lucyk, Gail Starling Marshall,
    Office of Attorney General of Virginia, for appellee.
    Before K.K. HALL, SPROUSE, and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal
    from that court's order dismissing McDonald's challenge to the Virginia Board
    of Bar Examiners' decision to deny him membership to the Bar for lack of
    subject matter jurisdiction is without merit. We dispense with oral argument
    because the dispositive issues have recently been decided authoritatively and
    affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court. McDonald v.
    Virginia Board of Bar Examiners, C/A No. 87-0199 (E.D.Va. April 9, 1987).

    AFFIRMED.
