Thomas Harvey Blanton v. Griel Memorial Psychiatric Hospital

How courts have described this case

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

• “The section governing probationary employees was clearly designed to offer a lesser expectation of continued employment than that offered to permanent employees.”
• “This provision, giving directions for the appointing authority to use in exercising his judgment, amounts to providing for a discharge ‘at the will’ of the appointing authority.”
• “a state employee who may be discharged at will under state law does not have a property interest in [her] continued employment, and is not entitled to the protections of due process.”
• “Because the plaintiff could be discharged ‘at the will’ of his employer during his probationary period, he had no valid expectation of continued employment during this probationary period.”
