Description
Plaintiff is a former police officer in the City of Oneida, Tennessee. He was summarily discharged by defendant Chief of Police Mack Burchfield on January 24, 1979. Plaintiff filed this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claiming he had been deprived of a "property" interest in his job and that he was discharged without due process of law. The district court, 564 F. Supp. 425, initially dismissed the case pursuant to a Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) motion filed by defendants. This court reversed the district court and remanded for further proceedings. Duncan v. The City of Oneida, Tennessee, 705 F.2d 452 (6th Cir. 1982) (unpublished order).
