OPINION
KAPLAN, District Judge.
Plaintiffs, one of which owned the long idle Thunderbolt roller coaster 1 at Coney Island, here contend that former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani caused the City of New York to tear down the Thunderbolt without affording plaintiffs notice or an oppor tunity to be heard. He allegedly did so out of racial animus, to retaliate for a prior lawsuit against the City, and to accommodate the owners of the New York Mets. Discovery having been completed, the matter is before the Court on the defendants’ motions for summary judgment dismissing the complaint.
