Decided December 22, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carlos A. del Valle Cruz, for Plaintiffs, Appellants.

Miguel Pagan, with whom Pagan & Pagan was on brief, for Defendants, Appellees.

Before STAHL, Circuit Judge, CYR, Senior Circuit Judge, and LYNCH, Circuit Judge.

LYNCH, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiffs are fifty-one former "transitory" or non-permanent employees of the municipality of Canovanas, Puerto Rico. A jury found against their claims that the incoming New Progressive Party (NPP) administration failed to renew their contracts of employment in various municipal jobs because they were supporters of the prior Popular Democratic Party (PDP) administration and so violated their rights under the First Amendment.
