Description
Appellees Linda Wiland, as administrator for the estate of Stanley Gaines, Jim Gilliand, and Sonia Avina (Deputies) brought this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against appellant County of Dallas, Texas (County). The Deputies claim procedural and substantive due process violations arising out of their termination as deputy constables for the County. Raising twenty-one issues, the County appeals the partial summary judgment rendered in favor of the Deputies as to the County's liability and denial of summary judgment for the County. The County also contends the trial court erred in denying the County's motion for new trial, and abused its discretion in entering judgment on the jury's damages award and awarding attorneys' fees to the Deputies. For the reasons below, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
