FOSTER v. DELUCA

No. 05-1491.

545 F.3d 582 (2008)

Stacie FOSTER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Anthony DeLUCA and City of Chicago Heights, Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided September 29, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mitchell A. Kline (argued), Chicago, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Jeffrey R. Kulwin (argued), Kulwin, Masciopinto & Kulwin, Chicago, IL, for Defendants-Appellees.

Before ROVNER, EVANS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.


WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge.

Stacie Foster filed suit against the defendants claiming that they violated her First Amendment rights by terminating her because of her political affiliation. The district court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss and terminated the case on the same day, and later denied Foster's motion to amend her complaint. Because the district court failed to articulate a reason for denying Foster's motion to amend her complaint, we reverse.
