1Opinion of the Court

CHAPMAN, Circuit Judge:

These two appeals have been consolidated for en banc consideration. Each case involves the question of whether the seventh amendment guarantees a right to a trial by jury in a suit to enforce a statutory cause of action for reinstatement to employment and compensation for lost wages under the Veterans Reemployment Rights Act (the Act), 38 U.S.C. §§ 2021 et seq. We find that there is no constitutional right to a jury trial under the Act and that to try such an action to a jury was error. We affirm in Blackmon (82-2107) and we reverse and remand in Troy (82-1862).
