1Opinion of the Court
EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:
Following the careful pruning of Appel-lee Noyola’s complaint and amended complaint by the district court, there is one issue open for review. The question is whether Appellants, Elizondo, Westbrook and Rodriguez, employees of the Texas Department of Human Resources (TDHR), are entitled to qualified immunity in connection with Noyola’s dismissal from TDHR in 1981. The district court denied summary judgment to Appellants on this issue. We reverse and render in their favor.
