How courts have described this case

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

  • “No property interest exists where an individual does not have a legitimate claim of entitlement to the object sought.”
  • “Because civil service coverage is an option subject to the discretion of the local county commission and, ultimately, the citizens of the county, the deputy sheriffs have only an expectation of entitlement, which is not sufficient to give rise to a property interest”
