1Opinion of the Court
KELLY, Associate Judge:
In a suit for damages, the appellants, members of the District of Columbia Bar, unsuccessfully challenged the administration in the trial court of the District of Columbia Criminal Justice Act. D.C.Code 1978 Supp., §§ 11-2601-2609. They assert on appeal that the court erred in granting appellee District of Columbia’s motion for summary judgment because the prevailing practice of cutting Criminal Justice Act payment vouchers without notice or hearing constitutes a breach of contract and violates the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. 1 We affirm. 2
