1Opinion of the Court
CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.
In this class action, a group of Wisconsin circuit court reporters brought suit for declaratory and injunctive relief and damages, claiming that salary classifications under which they were paid violated the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment, and gave rise to a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Although the district judge originally assigned to the ease ruled there was a constitutional violation, a second judge later reconsidered that ruling and then dismissed the reporters’ claims. We affirm the dismissal.
