ARGUED OCTOBER 18, 2010

Before POSNER and WOOD, Circuit Judges, and ADELMAN, District Judge.

Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters (“the Union”) filed an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the Village of Schaumburg, the owner of “Hon. Lynn S. Adelman, of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, sitting by designation. the Schaumburg Renaissance Hotel, asserting that the Village had violated its First Amendment rights. The Union chiefly complained that, in August 2009, the Village denied its request to stage a protest on the Hotel’s property. In November 2009, while the lawsuit was pending, the Village denied a second request from the Union to allow two of its members to distribute pamphlets at the entrance of the Hotel. In response to the Village’s motion for summary judgment with respect to the August 2009 incident, the Union discussed only the Village’s refusal in November 2009 to permit the leafletting; it said nothing about the August incident. The district court entered summary judgment for the Village, noting that the Union’s complaint had been filed before the November 2009 action and hence did not address any events that occurred after its filing. The Union appeals, asserting essentially that the two incidents were part of a single wrong by the Village. We conclude that the district court properly understood the complaint, and we therefore affirm.
