   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1899
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Chief Judge Riley, Author, with Bye and Benton,
   Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - civil rights. Volunteer firefighter was not a "fire code
   official" because he was not appointed by the chief appointing authority
   and did not exercise many of the most significant responsibilities of the
   position. Thus, he did not have a property interest in his position to
   support a due process violation when he was relieved of his
   responsibilities. District court did not abuse its discretion in denying
   motion to alter or amend. Judge Bye concurs.
