Before WISDOM, CLARK and RONEY, Circuit Judges.

RONEY, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff, a university professor, brought this civil rights action against the State Board of Regents for refusing to grant him tenure, alleging that in denying him tenure the defendants subjected him to a deprivation of his constitutional rights of free speech and due process. We affirm the district court's denial of relief to the professor on the ground that there was no violation of his federal rights.
