1Opinion of the Court
CARTER, Justice.
Appellant appeals the denial of his Rule 15(a) motion to amend Count I of his complaint; the M.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) dismissal of Count I of his complaint, which was based on 42 U.S.C. § 1983; and the dismissal for want of prosecution of Count II of his complaint, which sought Rule 80B review of his employment termination. Because we conclude that the dismissal of Count I of the complaint was improper, we vacate that portion of the judgment and remand for further proceedings. We affirm the dismissal of Count II of the complaint.
