IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

 

No. 00-40948

Summary Calendar

 

Ofelio Muniz, Jr.,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus

City of Harlingen; Jim Schoepner; Robert S. Archer; Joe Vasquez,

Defendants-Appellees.

 

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

 

April 19, 2001

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Plaintiff Muniz brought this § 1983 action alleging that

defendants violated his right to due process of the law by making

false and defamatory statements about him when asked for references

by a prospective employer. The district court dismissed his

complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim. The

district court reasoned that, to overcome the qualified immunity of

the defendants, Muniz would first have to show the deprivation of

a clearly established constitutional right. Since there is no

federal constitutionally protected interest in future employment,

the district court reasoned, Muniz had made no such showing.
1 711 F.2d 1217 (5th Cir. 1983).

2

We agree with the district court, and write only to clarify

the disposition of one of Muniz’s arguments on appeal. Muniz urges

that we apply Phillips v. Vandygriff.

1 In that case, the plaintiff

showed that, by industry custom, all banks consulted Commissioner

Vandygriff before hiring people to managerial positions.

Accordingly, the court held, Vandygriff’s approval constituted a de

facto license, without which no one could manage a bank in the

State of Texas. That license could not be arbitrarily denied

without due process of law.

This case is critically different. Muniz does not allege that

security agencies generally apply to these defendants to seek their

approval before hiring a new security guard. The only reason these

defendants’ input was sought in this case at all is that Muniz

listed the Department as his former employer. We decline Muniz’s

invitation to expand Phillips to reach such situations. The

situation in which a prior employer’s reference is necessary only

for a former employee is exactly the situation covered by the

general rule: one has no constitutionally protected interest in

future employment. De facto licensing only arises where the

defendant holds some form of gatekeeping role generally – not

where the defendant’s gatekeeping function is specific to the

plaintiff merely because the plaintiff used to work for the

defendant.
3

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is

AFFIRMED.

PER CURIAM.

Alan Wayne Neal pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to

distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B)(ii) (1994)

and 18 U.S.C. § 2 (1994), and using and carrying a firearm during and in

relation to a drug trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)

(1994). The District Court imposed consecutive 60-month sentences; Neal 1

did not appeal. He then filed this 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994) motion, arguing

that in light of Bailey v. United States, 116 S. Ct. 501 (1995), his

section 924(c)(1) conviction should be vacated. The District Court denied

relief, and Neal appeals.

We conclude Neal's argument is meritless because he admitted at his

guilty-plea hearing that he carried a firearm in his vehicle
-2-

during the drug trafficking offense. See United States v. Willis, 89 F.3d

1371, 1378-79 (8th Cir. 1996) (stating that Bailey left intact "carry"

prong of § 924(c)(1), as well as pre-Bailey cases analyzing "carry" prong;

holding defendant "carried" firearm by transporting firearms in passenger

compartment of vehicle loaded with crack cocaine), cert. denied, 65

U.S.L.W. 3265 (U.S. Oct. 8, 1996) (No. 96-5793). 

Accordingly, we affirm. 

A true copy.

CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.

Crediting.  The Bank shall establish
a Deferral Account on its books for the Director and shall credit to the

(c)                                  Interest
as follows:


(i)                                   On the last day of

shall be credited on the Deferral Account at an annual rate equal to the
Crediting Rate, compounded monthly; and


(ii)                                Prior to the

may change the rate used to calculate interest credited on the unpaid Deferral
Account balance during any applicable installment period.  Once the annual interest rate is determined
it will compound monthly on the last day of each month.

of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:


 


5.1.1                        Amount of Benefit.  The benefit under this Section 5.1 is

plus an additional Three Hundred Sixteen Thousand and Fifty-Six Dollars
($316,056).
