ED SALAZAR, Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus DAN MORALES, Attorney General Defendant-Appellee.

- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. A-95-CV-743

- - - - - - - - - - October 2, 1996 Before JONES, DeMOSS and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: * Plaintiff Appellant Ed Salazar appeals the dismissal of his Section 1983 complaint against Defendant-Appellee, Dan Morales. Assuming that the facts of Salazar’s complaint could be construed as supporting a supervisory liability theory, the dismissal was nonetheless warranted as Salazar has pleaded no facts showing constitutional injury. Accordingly, we affirm on this ground.
See Bickford v. International Speedway Corp. , 654 F.2d 1028, 1031No. 96-50114 - 2 - (5th Cir. 1981). The pleadings, letters, and other communications he relies upon as constitutionally protected speech were produced in his role as assistant attorney general; they do not constitute the speech of a private citizen upon matters of public concern. See Connick v. Myers , 461 U.S. 138, 147 (1983). Salazar’s free association claim fails since he alleged no current political rivalry between Morales and former attorney general Mattox. See Correa v. Fischer , 982 F.2d 935, 933 (5th Cir. 1993). Salazar cannot claim he was denied a liberty interest as his complaint does not allege defamation. Mere discharge, without specific defamatory charges, will not implicate a liberty interest. Rosenstein v. Dallas , 876 F.2d 392, 396 n.3 (5th Cir. 1989), reinstated in pertinent part , 901 F.2d 61 (5th Cir. 1990)(en banc), cert. denied , 498 U.S. 855 (1990). Finally, Salazar cannot assert a property interest as the personnel policies of the attorney general’s office state that an assistant attorney general serves at the pleasure of the Attorney General and that the personnel policies do not create a property right. Absent state law, contract, or personnel policies conveying an expectation of continued employment, no such expectation is conveyed by the Constitution itself. Board of Regents v. Roth , 408 U.S. 564, 578 (1972).

MDL Case No. 2:15-md-02641-DGC

Civil Action No. CV-17-03931-PHX-DGC

WAIVER OF THE SERVICE OF SUMMONS

To: Nations Law Firm - Houston, TX

(Name of plaintiff’s attorney or unrepresented plaintiff)

I have received your request to waive service of a summons in this action along with a copy of the complaint, two 

copies of this waiver form, and a prepaid means of returning one signed copy of the form to you.

I, or the entity I represent, agree to save the expense of serving a summons and complaint in this case.

I understand that I, or the entity I represent, will keep all defenses or objections to the lawsuit, the court’s 

jurisdiction, and the venue of the action, but that I waive any objections to the absence of a summons or of service.

I also understand that I, or the entity I represent, must file and serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 within 

60 days from 10/25/2017, the date when this request was sent (or 90 days if it was sent outside the United States). If I fail 

to do so, a default judgment will be entered against me or the entity I represent.

Date: October 26, 2017 /s/ Richard B. North, Jr.

Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses of Serving a Summons

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in saving unnecessary expenses of serving a 

summons and complaint. A defendant who is located in the United States and who fails to return a signed waiver of service requested by a plaintiff 

located in the United States will be required to pay the expenses of service, unless the defendant shows good cause for the failure. 

Case 2:15-md-02641-DGC Document 8592 Filed 11/03/17 Page 1 of 2
2

“Good cause” does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought in an improper venue, or that the court has 

no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant or the defendant’s property. 

If the waiver is signed and returned, you can still make these and all other defenses and objections, but you cannot object to the absence of 

a summons or of service. 

If you waive service, then you must, within the time specified on the waiver form, serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the 

plaintiff and file a copy with the court. By signing and returning the waiver form, you are allowed more time to respond than if a summons had been 

served.

###### Department of Justice

###### Antitrust Division

                    Notice is hereby given that, on September 11, 2014, pursuant to Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301*et seq.*                     (“the Act”), ASTM International (“ASTM”) has filed written notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing additions or changes to its standards development activities. The notifications were filed for the purpose of extending the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances. Specifically, ASTM has provided an updated list of current, ongoing ASTM standards activities originating between May 2014 and September 2014 designated as Work Items. A complete listing of ASTM Work Items, along with a brief description of each, is available at                     *http://www.astm.org.*

                    On September 15, 2004, ASTM filed its original notification pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Act. The Department of Justice published a notice in the                     **Federal Register**                     pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on November 10, 2004 (69 FR 65226).
