ROTH, Circuit Judge.
Valda Knight, a Liquor Enforcement Officer with Pennsylvania State Police (PSP),
brought suit against the PSP and various individual PSP defendants, claiming that she was
searched and seized in violation of the 4 Amendment, that she was improperly suspendedth
from duty in violation of the 1 Amendment, that she was constructively discharged inst
violation of the 14 amendment, and that her Heart and Lung benefits were terminatedth
without due process of law in violation of the 14 amendment. The District Court grantedth
summary judgment in favor of all defendants on the federal counts and dismissed the state law
counts without prejudice. Knight appealed.
For substantially the reasons set forth by the District Court in its very thorough opinion,
we will affirm the grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants.
