W. R. HAMPTON, Appellant, v. NORTH CAROLINA PULP COMPANY, Appellee.
    Circuit Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Jan. 17, 1944.
    J. C. B. Ehringhaus, of Raleigh, N. C. (Carl L. Bailey, of Plymouth, N. C., on the brief), for appellant.
    Ralph M. Hoyt, of Milwaukee, Wis. (Zeb Vance Norman, of Plymouth, N. C., and Malcolm K. Whyte, of Milwaukee, Wis., on the brief), for appellee.
    Before PARKER and SOPER, Circuit Judges, and WYCHE, District Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

Since the decision of this case in the District Court, 49 F.Supp. 625, the Supreme Court of North Carolina has decided the controlling principles of law involved contrary to the District Court’s decision. Hampton v. North Carolina Pulp Co. 223 N.C. 535, 27 S.E.2d 538, 539. As the case is controlled by the law of North Carolina, the decree appealed from dismissing the action will be reversed.

Reversed.
