Opinion

Appellant registered with Local Board No. 134 and was initially classified II-S. Subsequently the board classified him I-A, and ordered him to report for induction, from which a timely appeal was taken. The appeal board upheld the I-A classification and ordered appellant to report forthwith.

Plaintiff-appellant urges that section 460(b) (3) of 50 U.S.C. App. is unconstitutional, as violative of the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. This issue is no longer open, having been decided adversely to this plaintiff by the case of Clark v. Gabriel, 1968, 393 U.S. 256 , 89 S.Ct. 424 , 21 L.Ed.2d 418 .

Further, plaintiff-appellant is found not to be within the coverage of the exception to section 460(b) (3) carved by the companion case of Oestereich v. Selective Service Board, 1968, 393 U.S. 233 , 89 S.Ct. 414 , 21 L.Ed.2d 402 .

For the foregoing reasons, the decision of the district court must be affirmed.
