Florida Court Lets Section 1983 Due Process Suit Against Charlotte County Proceed

Summary
A Florida federal judge refused to dismiss an employee relations manager’s procedural due process claims against Charlotte County over his firing.
The court said the manager plausibly alleged he got a termination notice days before any hearing, supporting his claim that no constitutionally required pre-termination hearing occurred.
That timeline created factual disputes the court said cannot be resolved at the motion-to-dismiss stage, allowing the 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 case to move forward.
