Before WIDENER, JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
James N. Fleming brought this action alleging federal claims based on 42 U.S.C. Secs. 1981, 1983, 1985 and 1986, and a state law claim for fraud, all stemming from the various defendants' roles in obtaining payment on a $233,000 letter of credit posted by him to secure an appeal bond. The district court granted the defendants' motions to dismiss and for summary judgment and entered judgment in their favor.
On appeal, Fleming argues that the defendants deprived him of his property without due process of law, in violation of 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. The district court twice considered this claim and on both occasions properly concluded that there was no due process violation under Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517 (1984), and Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527 (1981). We affirm the dismissal of this claim on the reasoning of the district court. Fleming v. Gibson, C/A No. 86-150-R (E.D.Va., Nov. 13, 1986).
Fleming also argues that the district court erroneously dismissed his case with prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. This argument is without merit. The district court disposed of all the claims raised by Fleming on the merits. Therefore its final order dismissing the case with prejudice was correct.
We grant the appellees' motion for leave to file addenda to brief. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, and the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the briefs and record.
AFFIRMED.
