Plaintiffs appeal the district court's judgment dismissing their civil rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The appeal has been referred to a panel pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the certified record and the parties' briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Plaintiffs claimed that defendants deprived them of their constitutional rights to access to the court and equal protection of the laws when they failed to docket their amended petitions for child custody and provide a separate written opinion addressing the petitions. The district court granted defendants summary judgment.

Upon consideration, we affirm the district court's judgment filed December 2, 1987, because the plaintiffs failed to state a claim for which relief could be granted. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
