United States Attorney, on the brief), United States
_ Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut,

Appeal from a judgment ofthe United States District Court for the District
of Connecticut (Christopher F. Droney, judge).
. UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADjUDGED, AND
DECREED that the judgment ofthe District Court is hereby AFFIRMED.
Plaintiff-Appellant Laurence C. jones, jr. appeals from a judgment of the District
. Court dismissing his claim that he was denied reinstatement or appointment to competitive
federal service in violation of the Veterans Preference Act of 1944. The District Court, --
accepting the recommendation of Magistrate judge William I. Garfinkel, granted the
defendant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings on the grounds that (1) it lacked j
jurisdiction over jones’ claim, and (2) jones failed to state a claim under the Veterans
Preference Act upon which relief could be granted.
For substantially the reasons stated in Magistrate judge Garfinkel’s Recommended
Ruling, we affirm the judgment of the District Court.
We have considered all of plaintiff’s claims on appeal and we hereby AFFIRM the
judgment of the District Court.
