Tommy Hopkins v. John Saunders

WOLLMAN, Chief Judge.

Tommy D. Hopkins appeals from the district court’s denial of his claim for reinstatement and from the court’s failure to rule on his claims that John L. Saunders and other state officials (collectively, the officials) violated his rights under the First Amendment and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII). 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2000e-17. 1 The officials cross-appeal, contending that the district court erred in finding that Hopkins had a property interest in his job and in awarding Hopkins nominal damages and attorney fees. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
