Annotate this CaseIn Atherton v. D.C. Office of the Mayor, juror officer Suzanne Bailey-Jones unceremoniously removed Peter James Atherton from grand jury service after an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) reported the complaints of other members of the grand jury. The district court concluded that appellees, Bailey-Jones and the AUSA, were entitled to qualified immunity and granted their respective motions to dismiss. The court affirmed the judgment because Atherton failed to convince the court that he had a clearly established constitutional entitlement to a more comprehensive termination process when he was excluded from jury service.
