See Local Rule 21.1  That court's finding that the termination of Burch's membership was arbitrary and discriminatory is not clearly erroneous.  Moreover, the district court properly construed the "appropriate relief" provision of the Landrum-Griffin Act to permit the award of attorney's fees in this case. 29 U.S.C. Sec. 412; Gartner v. Soloner, 3 Cir. 1967, 384 F.2d 348, cert. den'd 390 U.S. 1040, 88 S.Ct. 1633, 20 L.Ed.2d 302.
