1Opinion of the Court
HAYNES, Circuit Judge:
The Plaintiffs-Appellants appeal the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants-Appellees. The principal question on appeal is whether the plan at issue is exempt from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as a “governmental plan.” Plaintiffs also challenge the dismissal of their successor liability and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims, and contend that the district court erred in not granting their motion for additional discovery. For the following reasons, we AFFIRM.
