United States Fourth Circuit
Kensington Volunteer Fire v. Montgomery County, MD, 11-1659
In an action brought by volunteer fire and rescue departments against a county and its officials, contending that defendants eliminated part of plaintiffs' funding in retaliation for plaintiffs' opposition to legislation supported by defendants, the District Court's dismissal is affirmed where finding that certain individual defendants are protected by legislative immunity and because the individual plaintiffs were not county employees, they could not bring an abusive discharge claim under state law.
