Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge:
This is a head-on, but belated, attack on the doctrine of official executive immunity espoused by the Supreme Court in Barr v. Matteo, 1959, 360 U.S. 564, 79 S.Ct. 1335, 3 L.Ed.2d 1434, 1 and adhered to by this Court in decisions both before 2 and after 3 Barr. 4 Again the attack fails, for the only thing novel about it is an allegation based on Greene v. McElroy, 1959, 360 U.S. 474, 79 S.Ct. 1400, 3 L.Ed. 2d 1377, that appellant was denied pro cedural due process, a question which we hold is not proper for consideration at this time nor in this lawsuit.
