Charlotte Brookins-Pruitt, Asst. Corp. Counsel, Washington, D.C., with whom Inez Smith Reid, Corp. Counsel, John H. Suda, Principal Deputy Corp. Counsel, and Charles L. Reischel, Deputy Corp. Counsel, Washington, D.C., were on brief, for appellee.

Before NEBEKER, MACK and NEWMAN, Associate Judges.


PER CURIAM:

The issue presented by this appeal is whether the trial court was correct in dismissing appellant's third party claim against the District of Columbia for contribution and common-law indemnification, on the grounds that the Police and Firefighters Retirement and Disability Act (the "Act"), D.C.Code §§ 4-601 to -634 (1981),1 is the exclusive remedy for uniformed personnel against the District. We affirm.
