1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
Henry H. Amsden, a land surveyor, sued the New Hampshire Board of Land Surveyors (BLS) and its individual members in New Hampshire’s federal district court. Invoking 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1982) and seeking damages totaling $2,500,000, Amsden accused defendants of scorning his right to due process. 1 Confronted with cross motions for summary judgment, the district court granted brevis disposition in defendants’ favor on the basis of qualified immunity. Amsden appeals. We affirm.
