No. 97-3346.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted March 9, 1998.Filed March 18, 1998.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Before BOWMAN and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges, and MONTGOMERY, District Judge.1
PER CURIAM.

1
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.

2
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.

3
The judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
