## Opinion text

PER CURIAM:
This appeal involves a constitutional challenge to a school dress code adopted by the Irving (Texas) Independent School District. The District Court denied declaratory and injunctive relief against the enforcement of regulations governing the hair length of male students.
Our recent en banc decision in Karr v. Schmidt, 5 Cir., 1972, 460 F.2d 609 , dictates an affirmance of that judgment.
Affirmed.
