Description

Steven B. Zimmerman, a firefighter in the Greensboro, North Carolina Fire Department, was passed over for promotion to captain despite being ranked first on the Fire Departments promotion list. Zimmerman sued the City of Greensboro under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the City denied him the promotion in retaliation for his activities on behalf of the nascent Greensboro Professional Fire Fighters Association, violating his First Amendment right of free association. The Association also joined as a plaintiff. Zimmerman produced evidence that Greensboro Fire Chief Walter F. Jones, who was responsible for the promotion decision, refused to promote him because of his union activity. The district court, however, granted the Citys summary judgment motion because any liability for Fire Chief Jones conduct could not be imputed to the municipality under Monell v. Department of Soc. Servs. of the City of New York, 436 U.S. 658, 56 L. Ed. 2d 611, 98 S. Ct. 2018 (1978), and its progeny. We affirm on similar grounds.
