United States Second Circuit

Summary judgment for defendant-government officials on plaintiff-public employees' claims that defendants retaliated against them for exercising their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and of political association, is affirmed, where neither the "Absolut Corruption" parody created by plaintiff Singer, nor the plaintiffs' lawsuit, were what the law considers to be, for these purposes, speech as a citizen on a matter of public concern.
