United States Seventh Circuit

In an employment action, district court's grant of defendant's motion to dismiss is affirmed where the denial of backpay and order of transfer did not violate plaintiff's substantive due process rights as the presence of disciplinary procedures does not establish a substantive property interest in continued employment protected under the Fourteenth Amendment.
