United States First Circuit
Gonzalez v. Otero, 16-1572
Affirming the district court's dismissal of the complaint in the alleged conspiracy of non-Hispanic, non-Puerto Rican employees at a US Army garrison to prevent an applicant from receiving the position of head of Directorate of Emergency Services though a 'witch hunt' that resulted in their criminal prosecution, but the mixed claims presented would have required an administrative process before ending up in federal court and they were precluded from their claims as a result; also finding that Bivens did not apply to workplace discrimination claims.
