Before: SCHROEDER, TROTT and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM*
JONES, J., Presiding

Submitted May 14, 1998**

Alvin R. and Shirley Y. Clark appeal pro se the district court's summary judgment in favor of defendants in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging violations of due process and equal protection.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.  We review de novo the district court's grant of summary judgment, see Patel v. Penman, 103 F.3d 868, 874 (9th Cir.1996), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 117 S. Ct. 1845, 137 L. Ed. 2d 1048 (1997), and we affirm.

3
For the reasons stated in the district court's March 6, 1997 order, we conclude that the City of Portland did not deprive the Clarks of due process or equal protection in resolving a dispute over their sewer system.

4
To the extent that the Clarks contend that the district court judge was not impartial, we reject this argument because there is no evidence that the judge was biased.  See Taylor v. Regents of Univ. of California, 993 F.2d 710, 712-13 (9th Cir.1993) (per curiam).

5
AFFIRMED.
