GOODMAN, District Judge
(dissenting).
I concurred in the court’s decision affirming the order denying the writ below, because, in my opinion, appellant’s own fault deprived him of his officer’s commission. However, I specifically abstained from concurring in the basis of decision reached by the majority of the court.
Now, I am persuaded by the petition for rehearing, that, irrespective of the action of appellant which brought about the loss of his commission prior to his induction, due process under the “Doctors Draft Law” requires the Army to use appellant as a doctor or return bim to civilian life.
Consequently I dissent from the order denying appellant’s petition for rehearing.
