MEMORANDUM OF DECISION
DALY, District Judge.
Plaintiffs in this declaratory judgment action seek to enjoin the City of Ansonia from levying a proposed sewer assessment against city homeowners. Defendants have moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Because plaintiffs can appeal any sewer assessment to the state courts 1 and air their objections in that- forum, this Court holds that “a plain, speedy and efficient remedy” exists in the Connecticut courts and therefore this Court is barred from taking jurisdiction of plaintiff’s cause by 28 U.S.C. § 1341.
