OPINION OF THE COURT
PER CURIAM.

1
The district court accepted appellee's contention that a male employee cannot, under Title VII, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, Et seq., file a charge claiming that his employer discriminates against females because he was not a "person aggrieved" under the statute.  When this case was listed for disposition, we reserved decision, pending determination of the appeal in Novotny v. Great American Savings & Loan Association, 584 F.2d 1235 (in banc), which has now been decided.

2
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court will be vacated and the cause remanded for reconsideration in light of Novotny.
