James C. Tuggle v. Harold Brown, Secretary of the Air Force
Opinion
This appeal is from the denial of Airman Tuggle’s motion that the Secretary be temporarily enjoined from granting him an undesirable discharge from the Air Force and from the dismissal of his complaint seeking both a temporary and permanent injunction. Because it ap *802 pears that Appellant has yet to exhaust available post-discharge administrative remedies, following our recent decision in McCurdy v. Zuckert, 5 Cir., 1966, 359 F.2d 491 [Apr. 14, 1966], we hold that resort to the District Court was premature. See Beard v. Stahr, 1962, 370 U.S. 41, 82 S.Ct. 1105, 8 L.Ed.2d 321; Michaelson v. Herren, 2 Cir., 1957, 242 F.2d 693. But see Covington v. Schwartz, 9 Cir., 1965, 341 F.2d 537; Ogden v. Zuckert, 1961, 111 U.S.App.D.C. 398, 298 F.2d 312; Reed v. Franke, 4 Cir., 1961, 297 F.2d 17. The District Court properly dismissed the complaint.
Affirmed.
