BAUER, Circuit Judge.
The appellants, former Assistant State’s Attorneys to the Cook County State’s Attorney, each brought an action claiming unlawful employment termination in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634 (“ADEA”). The district court granted the defendant-appellees’ motions to dismiss ruling that the plaintiff-appellants were excluded from the ADEA’s coverage because they held policymaking positions as a matter of law. We affirm.
