United States First Circuit

In an appeal from an order of the district court dismissing plaintiffs' Section 1983 complaint alleging violations of their First Amendment right to be free of employment discrimination on the basis of political affiliation, judgment is affirmed because the choice of plaintiffs not to associate with politically-powerful members of the Boson Fire Department is not political or otherwise constitutionally protected conduct.
