The opinion

PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal from a denial of preinduction relief ’by a registrant, who was refused by his Selective Service Board a Class III-A fatherhood classification pursuant to the terms of the exception incorporated in Selective Service Regulation 1622.30(a), 32 C.F.R., sec. 1622.30 (a).

While the registrant challenges the validity of the regulation, his primary claim is that, as a member of the class embraced in the action styled Gregory v. Hershey (D.C.Mich.1969) 311 F. Supp. 1 , and entitled to the benefit of the injunction granted by the District Court in that case, he should have been reclassified in Class III-A by his Selective Service Board in accordance with the judgment entered by the District Court in that case and his induction orders cancelled, even though the injunction granted in that case was dissolved on appeal and the action itself was dismissed on jurisdictional grounds. (6 Cir., 436 F.2d 513 ). The District Court, in two well-reasoned opinions found the regulation valid and the claim based on the injunction granted in

Gregory

without merit, holding as did the Court in Pasquier v. Tarr (5th Cir. 1971) 444 F.2d 116, 117 , that the judgment and injunction granted by the District Court in

Gregory

“collapsed, both for the parties and the members of the class, following its reversal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Gregory v. Tarr, 6 Cir., 1971, 436 F.2d 513 .”

We affirm on the opinions of the District Court, 345 F.Supp. 612 .

Affirmed.
