Discrimination
As a similarly situated comparator was also terminated and the variance in the comparator's severance can be explained by differences in their situations, no Title VII racial discrimination claim.
No ADEA retaliation, as termination occurred 21 months after initial complaint, with a lateral transfer interposed.
State statute limiting reduction in pay does not place a restriction on at-will nature of employment sufficient for a property interest in continued employment. Conceding at-will employment relative to one supervisor ends the property interest generally.
Statute allowing appointment to state office by elected official does not prevent another arm of the government from terminating the employment.
No abuse of discretion in district court's refusal to exercise ancillary jurisdiction over whistleblower claims.
