1Opinion of the Court
FERGUSON, Circuit Judge:
Knowlton Merritt, a former counselor supervisor at Klamath Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Inc. (KADA), appeals the district *1370court’s trial and summary judgment decisions in his civil rights action. He alleges that the defendants, federal and state officials evaluating KADA, and the United States, caused his termination from employment without a hearing, thereby depriving him of liberty and property interests without due process in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for a new trial.
