1Opinion of the Court
NIEMEYER, Circuit Judge:
The mayor and town council of Eastover, South Carolina, decided to “clean up” Main Street and therefore not to renew the licenses of the two nightclubs or discos which came up for renewal on April 1, 1988. The town also turned down a third applicant for a license. Robert Richardson, the owner of one of the clubs which were closed, filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, contending that he was deprived of his property without due process in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. He named as defendants the Town of Eastover, its may- or, and the members of the town council.
