Before McMILLIAN, FLOYD R. GIBSON, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Zeus Corporation, Claude J. Bremer, and Louann E. Bremer (appellants) appeal from a final order, entered in the United States District Court1 for the Northern District of Iowa, granting summary judgment in favor of the City of Decorah, et al., and dismissing this § 1983 action. Zeus Corp. v. City of Decorah, No. C 95-2028 (N.D. Iowa June 24, 1996). For reversal, appellants argue that the district court erred in holding that they do not have a constitutionally protected property right or interest in the renewal of their liquor license. Alternatively, appellants argue that the denial of a liquor license renewal is in fact a revocation under Iowa law and therefore invokes constitutional due process protection. Upon careful review of the arguments on appeal, and for the reasons set forth in the district court's order, we hold that appellants have failed to assert a deprivation of a constitutionally protected property interest in the present case. Accordingly, the order of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
The Honorable John A. Jarvey, Chief Magistrate Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa
