Leslie Crews v. Monarch Fire Protection Dist.

RILEY, Chief Judge.

Three ex-fire chiefs — Leslie Crews, Cary Spiegel, and Michael Davis (collectively, chiefs) — appeal the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment on their procedural due process claims challenging the manner of their terminations. The chiefs’ claims focus on the abruptness of the termination decision by Monarch Fire Protection District’s (Monarch) board of directors (board) and on two board members’ public statements allegedly damaging the chiefs’ reputations. With appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm the grant of summary judgment.
