-2-
County, Texas (collectively, “CAA”). Gamez and Leal filed suit against CAA pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983, claiming that they were terminated for political reasons in violation of their first amendment
rights.
We review the district court’s ruling on a motion for summary judgment de novo, applying
the same legal standard as the district court. Wyatt v. Hunt Plywood Co., 297 F.3d 405, 408 (5th
Cir. 2002). Summary judgment should be granted when there is “no genuine issue as to any material
fact[.]” FED. R. CIV. P. 56(c); Wyatt, 297 F.3d at 408-09.
Gamez and Leal fail to allege facts to support their claim that they were fired in violation of
their first amendment rights. Therefore, the district court’s grant of summary judgment is
AFFIRMED.
