Thomas W. Daughtrey, pro se.
John W. Stokes, Jr., U.S. Atty., Gale McKenzie, Anthony M. Arnold, Asst. U.S. Atty., Atlanta, Ga., for defendants-appellees.
Before BELL, GODBOLD and GEE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
The sole issue is appellant's claim that the United States Board of Parole acted arbitrarily and unlawfully in considering his application for parole because it did not obtain a psychiatric evaluation of him, whereas it has obtained such an evaluation on at least one other applicant which was highly favorable to such other applicant.


2
The Board violated neither equal protection nor due process nor statutory provisions which permit but do not require psychiatric evaluations of prisoners.  18 U.S.C. 4005, 4042, 4081.


3
Affirmed.
