United States Tenth Circuit

District court did not err in granting summary judgment for defendants on plaintiff's procedural due process claim because no question of material fact existed as to whether she had a protected property interest in her job as city treasurer. Her motions for JMOL or a new trial were properly denied because there were ample grounds for the jury finding that the job of city treasurer required political allegiance.
