: Appellate Law and PracticeCA1: another Puerto Rican political discrimination case
By S. COTUS
Maymi v. PR Ports Authority, No. 07-1157. This is a political discrimination claim by an attorney in Puerto Rico. The salaries are given, and you might note that they are less than lawyer in large firms make. The First amendment claims fail because the First says she was grousing about the operation of the office, rather than matters of public concern. The First says that there was no evidence of a personal vendetta. She has to proceed on a substantive due process claim, and since she was demoted, the First says that is not sufficiently shocking to the conscience.
Finally, the plaintiff loses on a ?conspiracy? to violate her civil rights because she didn?t produce evidence of that stuff.
