Description
Raymond Johnson filed suit in seven counts against the City of Buckner and its mayor and board of aldermen alleging violations
of his procedural and substantive due process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a right
to judicial review of his termination as a police officer and damages for defamation. The eighth count was a suit by Johnson's
wife, Janet, but no appeal has been taken on that count. After extensive discovery consisting of requests for admissions and depositions, Buckner and the individual defendants filed
a motion for summary judgment which was granted as to all counts of the petition. On this appeal Johnson contends: (1) he
was not an employee at will and, therefore, he was not terminable at will; (2) he had a liberty interest which was violated
when he was terminated; (3) he was denied substantive due process in his termination; (4) he was entitled to judicial review
of his discharge; (5) the counts in defamation raised issues of fact which need to be resolved; and (6) the allegations of
actual malice raises issues of fact which are triable by a jury. Affirmed.
