Before BREITENSTEIN, HILL and BARRETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
By his complaint plaintiff-appellant Christmas attacked the constitutionality of a school regulation pertaining to the length of a student">student's hair. The district court denied declaratory and injunctive relief, 313 F.Supp. 618. The facts differ from Freeman v. Flake and other hair cases decided this day in that the student">student was not suspended but was refused the right to attend commencement exercises and to receive a diploma. Instead he was given a certificate of graduation and accompanying transcript which are the only officially recognized documents or records evidencing graduation.
The judgment is affirmed. See Freeman v. Flake, 10 Cir., 448 F.2d 258.
