ORDER

¶2

The plaintiffs appeal pro se from the district court's order granting summary judgment to the defendants in this civil rights case. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983. The appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. After an examination of the record and the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a).

¶3

The plaintiffs and the defendants are all parties involved in domestic relations proceedings in the Anderson County, Tennessee courts. The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants based on various immunity, state action, vicarious liability, and statute of limitations grounds. We agree with the conclusions of the district court for the reasons stated in its orders of November 4, 1987 and December 17, 1987.

¶4

The judgment of the district court is affirmed under Rule 9(b)(5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit, because the issues are not substantial and do not require oral argument.
