The opinion
ALAN E. NORRIS, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
Although I agree with what has been said by the majority, I concur in affirming the judgment against defendant John Huss only because we are bound to follow the decision of a panel of this court in Cameron v. Brock, 473 F.2d 608 (6th Cir.1973), even though adherence to the reasoning relied upon by a majority of the members of the Supreme Court in its intervening opinion in United Bhd. of Carpenters and Joiners, Local 610 v. Scott, 463 U.S. 825 , 103 S.Ct. 3352 , 77 L.Ed.2d 1049 (1983) would appear to compel a contrary result. See, e.g., Grimes v. Smith, 776 F.2d 1359 (7th Cir.1985); Brown v. Reardon, 770 F.2d 896 (10th Cir.1985); Harrison v. KVAT Food Management, Inc., 766 F.2d 155 (4th Cir.1985). With this reservation, then, I concur in Judge Milburn’s opinion.
