EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judge.

Property owners in Cook County, Illinois sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for alleged deprivations of procedural due process rights by county officials who determined plaintiffs' liability for 1980 real estate taxes. They sought a declaratory judgment, damages, and injunctive relief. The district court dismissed their complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. We affirm the dismissal.
