153676P.pdf   05/23/2017  Linda Jenkins  v.  Frederick Tucker
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-3676
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Hannibal   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil Case - retaliation. In civil rights action asserting retaliation by 
   circuit judge for supporting a different candidate in election for 
   presiding circuit judge, the district court's denial of summary judgment 
   on the basis of qualified immunity is affirmed. Because there is a factual 
   dispute as to whether plaintiff has demonstrated she suffered an adverse 
   employment action, plaintiff provided evidence from which a reasonable 
   fact finder could infer a causal connection to her protected conduct and 
   involvement by the circuit judge, and the First Amendment right at issue 
   is clearly established, the district court did not err in denying 
   qualified immunity.
