OPINION
PER CURIAM:

5
Dayton Claudio brought this action against the United States, the General Services Administration (GSA) and two employees of the GSA alleging that defendants revoked his permit to hang artwork in the Raleigh federal courthouse in violation of the First and Fifth Amendments, the Public Buildings Cooperative Use Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act.  Plaintiff appeals two orders from the district court granting summary judgment for defendants.

6
We have considered the record, briefs and arguments of the parties, and are of the opinion that the GSA did not abuse its regulations or violate appellant's first amendment rights.  We accordingly affirm for reasons stated in the orders of the district court.  Dayton Claudio v. United States of America et al., No. 92-495-CIV-5-F (E.D.N.C., Feb. 2, 1993), and Dayton Claudio v. United States of America et al., No. 92-495-CIV-5-F (E.D.N.C., Sept. 8, 1993).

AFFIRMED.
