U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 01-1808
and No: 01-1809
Eastern District of Missouri
Civil Case - civil rights. District court's grant of summary
judgment in favor of city council and city administrator in
First Amendment claim is affirmed because comments were
insufficient to deter a person from continuing to speak and
causal connection to retaliatory acts was not established.
District court did not err in denying City administrator
judgment as a matter of law following jury verdict against
him for retaliation. Evidence was sufficient to support
punitive damages award.
