Alamo-Hornedo v. Puig, No. 12-2177 (1st Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseOn February 26, 2010, Plaintiff, who worked for the Parole Board of Puerto Rico, was terminated pursuant to Law 7, which implemented a brute-force reduction in the size of the government to improve Puerto Rico’s dire financial straits. On February 3, 2011, the union to which Plaintiff belonged prevailed on its suit in which it sought to reinstate Plaintiff and other unionized Parole Board employees. Although Plaintiff was reinstated to her position, eight months later she sued the members of the body charged with implementing Law 7, alleging that they had deprived of her due process of law in violation of 42 U.S.C. 1983. The federal district court dismissed Plaintiff’s section 1983 claim with prejudice on the grounds that it was time-barred under the applicable statute of limitations. The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s order of dismissal, holding that the court did not err in dismissing Plaintiff’s action.
