1Opinion of the Court
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:
A group of municipal firefighters brought suit for a discriminatory reduction in pay more than three years after the reduction took effect. They appeal from the dismissal of their complaint as barred by the three-year statute of limitations, contending that the alleged violation of law was continuing, and that the statute bars only their collecting damages for more than three years. We affirm the district court’s judgment on the ground that the alleged discriminatory act was not a “continuing violation.”
