## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- explaining that although many allegations in connection with an adverse employment action “might well interfere with ... opportunities for subsequent employment,” this does not mean they are “of such a serious and derogatory nature as to require due process protection.”
- finding the case to be one where the “government employee has no procedural due process rights apart from those which the agency has chosen to create by its own regulations... .”

## Opinion text

ROBB, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
Although I concur in the remand of this case to the Agency, for compliance with procedural requirements, I do not agree that the record discloses any issue of material fact with respect to a violation of the appellant’s First Amendment rights. In my view the statements of Mr. Lauderbaugh, in which he expresses certain conclusions and opinions about the matter, do not raise the essential issue.
