Jeffrey Hatton v. Commanding General, Headquarters, U. S. Army Training Center, Infantry and Fort Polk, Fort Polk, Louisiana

Opinion

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After an examination of the entire record, the District Court, in an unpublished memorandum opinion by Judge Hunter, held that there was no basis in *1402 fact for an Army finding of insincerity as to the conscientious objector claims of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.
