United States First Circuit

In a suit claiming that, as a result of his membership in the Popular Democratic Party, plaintiff was subject to impermissible political discrimination after the New Progressive Party came to power in Puerto Rico in January 2009, the district court's grant of summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff has not raised a genuine issue of material fact that his party affiliation was a factor in his reassignment or that his job responsibilities were diminished; and 2) plaintiff's remaining allegations of workplace discrimination are insufficient to constitute adverse employment actions.
