Text: 29 From May of 1992 until her discharge in 1994, plaintiff McDaniel worked as a jailer in the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department. Although she asserts that her political affiliation formed the basis for her dismissal, she points out minimal evidence in support of her claim. She stated at deposition that she placed a bumper sticker on the dashboard of her car and that she told other jailers that she supported York. She also stated that she placed a York sticker on the door of her house, but lamented that it was replaced with stickers supporting defendant as soon as she turned her back. Plaintiff McDaniel has offered no evidence showing that defendant knew she supported York in the general election. In fact, when asked about this at deposition she admitted that, I don't know if he does or I don't know if he don't. I couldn't say. We agree with the District Court that summary judgment in favor of defendant is appropriate in this case because plaintiff McDaniel has failed to muster enough evidence to allow a reasonable jury to decide in her favor.
