VAN OOSTERHOUT, Senior Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
I respectfully dissent. In my view the findings of the trial court are supported by substantial evidence. Pregnancy was treated by the employer like any other sickness. Included in the trial court’s memorandum opinion is the following:
There has been no showing that plaintiff’s disability was treated any differently than any other disability would have been.
There has been no showing that the policy of defendant, which amounts to no policy at all, has a disparate effect upon one sex.
*655There has been no showing that a male employee who was unable to work and unable to say when he would be able to return to work would be treated any differently.
I would affirm the dismissal on the basis of Judge Meredith’s memorandum opinion.
