PER CURIAM

       Jackson J. Teed and Marilyn A. Teed have appealed the district court’s grant of

summary judgment to the defendants on their claim that the defendants violated the Equal

Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment during the course of a zoning dispute.

After a lengthy argument, and after careful consideration of the briefs of the parties, we

hold that the Teeds’ arguments in support of their appeal are without merit. We will,

therefore, affirm the judgment of the district court.

       *
       The Hon. John C. Lifland, Senior District Judge of the United States District
Court for the District of New Jersey, sitting by designation.
