Description
POSNER, Chief Judge. Stephen Eberhardt was an Assistant States Attorney in Cook County, Illinois. In this civil rights suit brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against his supervisors, seeking both damages and equitable relief, he claims that he was fired from that position because he wrote a novel, and that to fire him for such a reason violated the right of freedom of expression conferred on him by the First Amendment. He also claims that an investigation which preceded his being fired deprived him of liberty within the meaning of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because it stigmatized him unjustly as a sexual harasser.
