WELLFORD, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
As an original member of this court’s panel in Loudermill v. Cleveland Board of Education, 721 F.2d 550 (6th Cir.1983), aff'd 470 U.S. 532, 105 S.Ct. 1487, 84 L.Ed.2d 494 (1985), I am in accord with Judge Merritt’s analysis of Loudermill as it relates to the issues of this case. I write separately to state my original concern about the issue of mootness, but I note that plaintiff’s counsel at oral argument took the position that not all the issues involved were moot. I agree not only with the *1009result reached and Judge Merritt’s reasoning in reaching that result, but would also note my disagreement with plaintiff’s argument that BOCA requirements equate with or set out the constitutional due process requirements involved in this discharge.
