Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit March 10, 1986, 85-7123 (Johnny L. Grandison v. John H. Smith, Mayor)

JOHNSON, Circuit Judge:

We are called upon to decide whether a trial court properly refused to overturn a general jury verdict under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (1985) in favor of two municipal employees who claimed they were effectively terminated, by means of a layoff order, without affording them the usual right to a hearing. We AFFIRM the judgment of the district court in all respects.

I. BACKGROUND.
