1Opinion of the Court
EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judge.
This lengthy litigation alleging discrimination in resources allocation and employment by the Chicago Park District during the years 1970 through 1980 raises these issues:
1) Did the court err in dismissing three counts of the amended complaint under res judicata and collateral estoppel?
2) Did it err in dismissing the remaining three counts of the amended complaint for failure to state a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983?
3) Did it err in denying plaintiffs’ recusal motions?

The procedural sequence in this case is convoluted and will be simplified…
