Sean David Duckett, Sr. v. Jefferson Parish Department of Public Works-Streets

Whether Jefferson Parish’s Personnel Rules of the Classified Service Rule X, which puts no requirement upon its Appointing Authorities to give any pre-deprivation notice whatever to classified employees facing termination, comports with the procedural due process provisions of the United States Constitution. Whether, as a matter of law, a well-founded procedural due process claim under the United States Constitution may be denied and, in effect nullified, even after this Court’s dictates in Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, 470 U.S. 532 were fully briefed to the civil service board prior to the board rendering its decision.
