   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3942
   District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Arnold and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. The Nebraska Supreme Court has held that
   when the city of Omaha annexed the city of Elkhorn, it succeeded to
   Elkhorn's contractual agreements to plaintiffs under the Elkhorn
   Collective Bargaining Agreement; as a result, the Elkhorn CBA, not the
   Omaha CBA, governed any potential employment agreement which
   existed between Omaha and the plaintiff Elkhorn police officers; the
   severance provisions of the Elkhorn CBA prevented plaintiffs from
   possessing property interests in employment with Omaha; because
   plaintiffs had no legitimate claim to employment with Omaha, their
   termination did not give rise to a due process claim.
