1Opinion of the Court

SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judge:

A surety company and two of its agents appeal from a summary judgment that dismissed their various Section 1983 claims. We affirm that part of the judgment that dismissed a Due Process claim against the sheriff who barred them from writing bail bonds in one county. Finding disputes of material fact, we reverse judgment on that same claim against the county and on the First Amendment and Equal Protection claims against both the sheriff and the county based on the same events. We remand.
