Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided April 18, 2000No. 99-14594PublishedCited by 108 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:
The sole issue in this interlocutory appeal is whether the defendant county Commissioner, who is being sued for money damages in his individual capacity under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, is entitled to qualified immunity with respect to the plaintiffs claims that he terminated her employment in violation of her First Amendment rights of free speech and freedom of association. The district court denied the Commissioner’s motion to dismiss, holding that the plaintiffs complaint alleged facts sufficient to defeat the defense of qualified immunity. We reverse.
