PER CURIAM.

1

Appellant's case was dismissed with prejudice by the District Court when he declined to go to trial after denial of his motion for continuance.

Norton Co., 2 Cir., 1959, 273 F.2d 65; and Girard Trust Co. v. Amsterdam, 5 Cir., 1942, 128 F.2d 376.

It follows that the judgment appealed from must be, and is affirmed.
