The opinion

PER CURIAM.

Paul Harp was a probationary instructor at Paducah Community College of the University of Kentucky, employed under a one year contract which had been renewed annually from 1965 to 1971. He applied at that time for tenure and a promotion to senior instructor status which was a necessary requisite for him to continue teaching. His application was denied.

*1029

He filed this action under 28 U.S.C. § 1343 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 , against the Board of Trustees of the University of Kentucky and officials of Paducah Community College, contending that he was entitled to a statement of the reasons for the denial of his application and to a hearing.

District Judge Rhodes Bratcher dismissed the action and Harp appeals.

We affirm on authority of Board of Regents v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564 , 92 S.Ct. 2701 , 33 L.Ed.2d 548 (1972) and Orr v. Trinter, 444 F.2d 128 (6th Cir. 1971), cert. denied, 408 U.S. 943 , 92 S.Ct. 2847 , 33 L.Ed.2d 767 (1972).
