   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  98-4053
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil case - civil rights. Record failed to show terminated public 
   employee's First Amendment protected speech was a motivating 
   factor in his termination; since termination was not caused by 
   his speech under the Missouri Whistleblower's statute or Sunshine 
   Act, the termination did not implicate procedural due process rights.
