1Opinion of the Court
BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge:

The district court concluded that it does and held Armi-stead Homes Corporation liable under 42 U.S.C. § 1981, § 1982, and Maryland law for denying Karen Pinchback housing opportunities because she is black. We find it unnecessary to determine liability under Maryland law, but in all other respects we affirm the judgment of the district court. *1449See Pinchback v.
