RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.
The plaintiffs brought a four count complaint against the defendants, alleging various improprieties in regard to the defendant Village’s handling of the plaintiffs’ applications for building permits. Before trial, the district court first dismissed on the pleadings the plaintiffs’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 allegations of procedural and substantive due process violations and a state law claim. It later dismissed on summary judgment a claim under RICO and an equal protection claim. Count I (alleging violation of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1982) proceeded to a jury trial.
