What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. Your task is to identify the type of district court decision or judgment appealed from (i.e., the nature of the decision below in the district court).

PER CURIAM.
Plaintiff-appellant, a citizen of Arkansas, was injured on October 24, 1964, in an accident in Arkansas while using a defective swivel manufactured by defendant-appellee, a Washington corporation. Two separate actions were commenced by plaintiff-appellant, one in warranty and one in tort, alleging that the swivel was defective and was the cause of plaintiff-appellant’s injury. In each case plaintiff-appellant attempted to obtain jurisdiction over the defendantappellee by virtue of provisions of Ark. Stat.Ann. § 27-2502:
“Bases of personal jurisdiction ovei persons outside this state.”
In interpreting the Arkansas statute, Judge Young found it inapplicable and accordingly quashed the service in both cases. Judge Young’s opinion is published in D.C., 259 F.Supp. 609. Because he has arrived at a permissible conclusion with reference to Arkansas law and a conclusion with which we are in complete accord, we affirm on the basis of his opinion as published.
