Katherine Barlow, Etc. v. Atlanta Housing Authority, 592 F.2d 280 (5th Cir. 1979)
1979 U.S. App. LEXIS 15784

Katherine Barlow, Etc. v. Atlanta Housing Authority

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

For the reasons set forth in District Judge Murphy’s opinion in Harrison v. Housing Authority of the City of College Park, N.D.Ga., 1978, 445 F.Supp. 356, aff’d, 5 Cir., 1979, 592 F.2d 281, we hold that appellant Katherine Barlow did not, under Georgia law, have a property interest in her continued employment with the Atlanta Housing Authority. See Bishop v. Wood, 1976, 426 U.S. 341, 96 S.Ct. 2074, 48 L.Ed.2d 684. In view of this, in affirming the summary judgment entered in favor of the defendants we need not reach the issue of whether due process was afforded appellant Barlow. On the basis of Chief Judge Henderson’s opinion in the instant case below, we also affirm the denial of class certification under F.R.Civ.P. 23.

AFFIRMED.
