MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
In concurring with the majority opinion, I do not mean to cast doubt on the result reached. However, the substantial reliance placed by the majority on Garvin v. Alumax of South Carolina, Inc., 787 F.2d 910 (4th Cir.1986), requires a response by me. I dissented in Garvin on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to consider and reach a decision on the points dealt with in Garvin. I still retain that view though of course Garvin is the law of the circuit. However, in the present case reliance of Garvin was not necessary to the decision and I would prefer not to rely on it in reaching the conclusion come to by the majority.
Otherwise, I have no difference with the majority opinion and therefore concur.
