Description
ATKINS, District Judge: This court is presented with the wholesale refusal of a newly elected sheriff to reappoint or rehire any of his predecessor's employees. The complaint alleged that the newly elected sheriff discharged the plaintiffs for political reasons in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and for racial reasons in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981. We affirm the district court's dismissal of the section 1983 claims of the deputy sheriffs but reverse its dismissal of the claims of the clerks, investigators, dispatchers, jailers, and process servers. We affirm the district court's dismissal of the section 1981 claim in its entirety.
