Ada A. BREEDLOVE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. HOUSING AUTHORITY OF the CITY OF SWAINSBORO, GEORGIA, James H. Morgan, Chairman, et al., etc., Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 74-3376.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    March 4, 1976.
    Fletcher Farrington, Savannah, Ga., for plaintiff-appellant.
    Julian H. Toporek, Savannah, Ga., Sid-1 ney B. Shepherd, Swainsboro, Ga., for defendants-appellees.
    Before WISDOM, COLEMAN and GEE, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

The district court found “as a matter of fact that Mrs. Breedlove being female did not determine and control the action taken by the Commission. . . . ” Upon consideration of this finding and the full record, we hold that sex was not a factor in the Commission’s employment decision. Any prima facie case of sexual discrimination was adequately rebutted. McDonnell-Douglas Corp. v. Green, 1973, 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668.

Affirmed.
