How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a retaliation claim arising from protected conduct concerning an employer’s unlawful employment policies “cannot form the basis for a constitutional equal protection violation.”
• finding that plaintiffs’ property interest in continued employment did not trigger due process protections because the plaintiffs remained employed at the same rank and did not suffer any decrease in compensation as a result of the alleged discipline
• affirming dismissal of due process claim where complaint did not allege deprivation of protectible property interest
• rejecting due process claim based on “no more than a claim of entitlement to a fair process”
• finding conclusory allegations that a classification lacks a rational basis “insufficient to overcome the presumption of government rationality”
• plaintiffs’ property interest in continued employment could not form basis of due process claim where plaintiffs remained employed at same rank and compensation
