Here is today’s Sixth Circuit opinion in Devlin v. Kalm.
An excerpt:
Plaintiff Patrick J. Devlin appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss based on the abstention doctrine and the court’s denial of Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment. Plaintiff argues that his termination from the Michigan Gaming Control Board was retaliatory in violation of his First Amendment rights under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1988 and his due process rights, after he made disparaging remarks to the press about the Michigan Attorney General and the application of the state’s gaming laws to Native American tribes.
