   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-4406
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Melloy and Shepherd, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. District court did not err in dismissing claim
   that the defendant superintendent of schools infringed plaintiff's
   procedural due process rights by denying him a name-clearing hearing
   after he was stigmatized by defamatory statements made by other school
   officials; plaintiff's complaint failed to allege the elements of a "stigma
   plus" claim as he failed to allege an alteration or extinguishment of a
   right or legal status.
