Application of John T. SMALL, Petitioner-Appellant, v. COMMANDING GENERAL, MARINE CORPS BASE, CAMP PENDLETON, CALIFORNIA, and Commanding Officer, Staging Battalion, Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, California (MCC 050), Respondents-Appellees, 448 F.2d 1397

PER CURIAM: Petitioner-appellant Small is an enlisted man on active duty in the Marine Corps. On June 9, 1970, he was tried and convicted by a special court-martial for the sale of marijuana. His conviction was reviewed and approved by the Staff Judge Advocate, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, California. Instead of seeking review by the Judge Advocate General of the Navy pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 869 (1971 Supp.) (Article 69 of the UCMJ), Small sought habeas corpus in the Southern District of California. The district court dismissed the petition for failure to exhaust all military remedies. Small appealed.

At the time of oral argument, the court indicated from the bench that the judgment of the district court was affirmed. We do so for the reasons set forth by the district court and adopt as our own its opinion reported at 320 F.Supp. 1044 (S.D.Cal.1970). A petition for rehearing will not be entertained. Affirmed.
