The GOVERNMENT OF the CANAL ZONE, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Fermin Jesus GONZALEZ T. (Tunon), Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 79-1912.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Nov. 19, 1979.
    Justice L. Rovin, Balboa, Rep. of Panama, Canal Zone (Court-appointed), for defendant-appellant.
    Frank J. Violanti, U. S. Atty., Wallace D. Baldwin, Acting U. S. Atty., Balboa Heights, Canal Zone, for plaintiff-appellee.
    Before BROWN, Chief Judge, JONES and RUBIN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

This appeal relates only to the process due a person deported from the Canal Zone in March, 1972, long prior to the time the Carter-Torrijos Treaty of 1978 became effective. We conclude that the Regulations then in effect, 35 C.F.R. § 59.62, promulgated pursuant to 2 Canal Zone Code § 841(a)(1) and § 1541, are constitutional as applied here, and provide all the process that was due under the Constitution.

The judgment is, therefore, AFFIRMED.
