United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT _____________ No. 97-3346 _____________ Charles L. Allen, Jr.; Judith D. Curry; * Rickey Evans; * * Plaintiffs-Appellants, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the * Eastern District of Arkansas. City of Little Rock; Rubin W. Webb, in * his official and individual capacity; * [UNPUBLISHED] James T.

Montgomery, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, sitting by designation. The District Court2 granted summary judgment to all the defendants. The court determined that plaintiffs, who were terminated from their positions as probationary firefighters without a hearing, were at-will employees and had no property interest in their positions; thus they were not entitled to the due process protections afforded by the Fourteenth Amendment. Plaintiffs appeal. Having considered the briefs, the record, and the arguments of the parties, we are satisfied the judgment of the District Court is correct. No error of law appears, and an opinion would lack precedential value. Accordingly, we forego extended discussion. The judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. 2 The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. -2-
