U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-3878
District of Nebraska
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - civil rights. District court did not err in granting employer's
motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's Fourth Amendment claim, as
plaintiff failed to show he had a reasonable expectation of privacy in his
workplace computer or that his employer's search was unreasonable in
inception or scope; defendant had no protectable property interests in his
employer's contract with a third party, nor does the agreement in question
acknowledge him as an inventor of the technology or an intended
recipient of royalty income. Judge Bye, concurring.
