United States Second Circuit

Dismissal of plaintiff-contractor's First Amendment and Equal Protections claims against defendant, a construction supervisor with the Department of Transportation (DOT), arising out of plaintiff's work on DOT projects, is affirmed, where: 1) the district court properly dismissed plaintiff's First Amendment claim because plaintiff's speech was not on a matter of public concern; and 2) the district court properly dismissed plaintiff's Equal Protection claim because the only differential treatment alleged in the complaint took place outside the limitations period.
