U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided March 30, 1979 · Brown, Ainsworth, Campbell
592 F.2d 280; 1979 U.S. App. LEXIS 15784 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

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.
