021895P.pdf   03/12/2003  Jeff Eddings  v.  City of Hot Springs
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1895
   Western District of Arkansas   
Civil case - civil rights. Fired police officer did not have a protected property interest in continued employment as he was an employee at will; while he had a protected liberty interest in his good name and reputation, the district court did not err in granting the City summary judgment on this claim as the fired officer could not show the defendants had made any untrue or stigmatizing public statements; claim by officer's wife that police presence at the nightclub where she performed her exotic dancing chilled her First Amendment rights must fail because she could not establish injury in fact or causation.
