   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Melloy and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Public employees. In case involving claims that plaintiff 
   was fired for exercising his First Amendment rights, the district court did 
   not err in limiting the number of instances of supposed protected speech 
   submitted to the jury, as the other instances plaintiff wanted the court to 
   submit did not qualify as protected speech; district court did not err 
   applying the Pickering test and in directing judgment against plaintiff.
