How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that one element of First Amendment retaliation claim requires “that the plaintiff was engaged in constitutionally protected activity”
• “Nor are the references in [a doctor’s] notes that [the 11 plaintiff]’s anxiety and depression were ‘improving’ sufficient to undermine the repeated 12 diagnosis of those conditions, or [another doctor’s] more detailed report.”
• some factors are presumptively accounted for in the 11 lodestar calculation
• setting forth elements of First Amendment retaliation claim
• Similarly, to the extent Hoke's complaint could be construed 11 to allege a 42 U.S.C. § 1981 claim based upon defendants' interference with his right to 12 contract, this claim does not have an arguable basis in law or fact because Hoke did not 13 allege race-based discrimination
