PER CURIAM:

1
The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore sought a modification of the district court's decree, previously entered and fully litigated, on the ground that Pub.Law 99-592 enacted October 31, 1986 amended Sec. 4 of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act so as to permit the City to require firefighters to retire at ages 55 and 60.  The district court denied the motion to modify and the City appeals.

2
The district court's denial was based upon its ruling that the 1986 amendment by its terms was inapplicable to this case.  We agree and we affirm on the opinion of the district court, Johnson v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, Civ. No. H-79-998, D.Md.  (August 5, 1987) (unpublished).

3
AFFIRMED.
