1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal requires us to consider whether civil rights actions can be maintained against military officers in the chain of command by persons employed under the National Guard Technician Act of 1968 (Technician Act), 32 U.S.C. § 709 (1988). The district court granted summary judgment because it deemed plaintiffs claims to be non-justiciable. See Wright v. Park, 811 F.Supp. 726 (D.Me.1993). Although our reasoning differs from that of the court below, we affirm.
