   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3094
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and John R. Gibson,
   Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff police officers have alleged sufficient facts to show that the defendant sheriff caused them to suffer material changes in their employment that rose to the level of adverse employment actions in retaliation for their exercise of their First Amendment rights, and the district court did not err in denying the defendant's motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity; defendant O'Hara was entitled to qualified immunity because the law was not clearly established that the actions he took with respect to plaintiff Moore had employment consequences serious enough to amount to adverse employment actions; court had no jurisdiction to address the county's immunity defense in this interlocutory appeal.
