Outcome

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's dismissal of Waronker's First Amendment retaliation and Due Process claims under Rule 12(b)(6), finding that his speech was made pursuant to his official duties as superintendent rather than as a private citizen, and that he failed to state a viable claim for relief.
