PER CURIAM.

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. No abuse of discretion appears either with respect to the denial of the motion for ‍​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‍continuance, or the dismissal. Rule 41(b), F.R. Civ.P.; Joseph v. 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.
