## Opinion text

ARONOVITZ, District Judge,
specially concurring:
I concur in the result and in that part of the Opinion holding that plaintiffs are not “aggrieved” parties under Alabama law; however, I would not reach the alternative issue with respect to Federal Due Process, as I do not deem it necessary to reach that Constitutional issue at this time.
