PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

2The Honorable Nanette K. Laughrey, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
2
Broadway-Washington Associates, Ltd., et al., (“Broadway”) appeals the
District Court’s 2 dismissal of its claim that the Tax Increment Financing Commission
(“TIFC”) violated its procedural and substantive due process rights, and its right to
equal protection. Broadway also appeals the district court’s decision to grant
summary judgment on its Establishment Clause claim.
After a careful examination of the record, this Court finds sufficient evidence
to support the district court’s decision. The district court, therefore, properly
dismissed Broadway’s claims of procedural and substantive due process violations,
and its claim of an equal protection violation. The district court also properly granted
summary judgment on Broadway’s Establishment Clause claim. Under Eighth Circuit
Rule 47B, no further commentary is warranted.
Accordingly, we affirm.
A true copy.
Attest:
CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
