Morris May filed his complaint in the district court under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000(e) on August 19, 1985, alleging that he was not hired by defendant because he is an Orthodox Jew.  In its answer, defendant averred that it intended to hire plaintiff but had ceased operating before it could hire him or anyone else.  Further, defendant averred that it did not continue to seek applicants for the position after plaintiff's interview, and that it had initiated bankruptcy proceedings shortly thereafter.

The district court dismissed plaintiff's complaint for failure to establish a prima facie case of discrimination under McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973).  We agree with the reasoning of the district court and hereby affirm its order of January 14, 1988, dismissing plaintiff's complaint.  Rule 9(b)(5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
