Description

Appellant Andrew B. James sued appellees, the City of Houston, Texas, Lee P. Brown, and Mary DesVignes-Kendrick, alleging James was terminated in retaliation for his exercise of the constitutionally-protected right to free speech and that he was deprived of procedural due process at his post-termination hearing. At issue is whether James is barred by the doctrine of collateral estoppel from asserting his state-law claims when his parallel federal-law claims were dismissed in a separate proceeding in federal court. We affirm.
