   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-3167
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Murphy and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Public employees. District court did not err in determining 
   pre-termination proceedings were constitutionally sufficient; in light of 
   extensive post-termination proceedings (which led to plaintiff's 
   reinstatement with full backpay and benefits), court could not say he was 
   denied his procedural-due-process rights.
