Description
Marsha Conner, former Chief Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court of Roanoke County, Virginia, brought this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the Roanoke County Clerk, Steven McGraw, terminated her employment in violation of her First Amendment rights. McGraw moved for summary judgment on the ground of qualified immunity, but the district court denied this motion and McGraw did not file an interlocutory appeal. In ruling in favor of Conner following a bench trial, the district court failed to clarify which strand of First Amendment jurisprudence--the associational right to political affiliation or the free speech right to expressive conduct--served as the basis for its decision. For the reasons that follow, we hold that the district court erred in not granting McGraw qualified immunity and for that reason we reverse.
