PER CURIAM. Plaintiff appeals from the district court’s grant of summary judgment in this action, finding it barred by the six-month statute of limitations set forth in DelCostello v. Teamsters, 462 U.S. 151, 103 S.Ct. 2281, 76 L.Ed.2d 476 (1983). The action was removed to federal court in 1981. This court has previously held that DelCostello does not apply retroactively.
