Britt SHERLING, a Minor by his Parents and Next Friends, Ray and Polly Sherling, etc., et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. Dr. John F. TOWNLEY, Individually and as Superintendent of the Irving Independent School District, et al., Defendants-Appellees.
No. 71-1474.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
July 25, 1972.
Tuttle, Circuit Judge, concurred specially and filed opinion.
John P. Knouse, Irving, Tex., for plaintiffs-appellants.
James W. Deatherage, Irving, Tex., for defendants-appellees.
Before JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge, and TUTTLE and INGRAHAM, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
This appeal involves a constitutional challenge to a school dress code adopted by the Irving (Texas) Independent School District. The District Court denied declaratory and injunctive relief against the enforcement of regulations governing the hair length of male students.
Our recent en banc decision in Karr v. Schmidt, 5 Cir., 1972, 460 F.2d 609, dictates an affirmance of that judgment.
Affirmed.
