Description
Before McMILLIAN, Circuit Judge, BRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judge, and BOWMAN, Circuit Judge BOWMAN, Circuit Judge Leo H. Spinar, formerly an administrator at South Dakota State University and currently a full professor there, has brought this action seeking damages against the South Dakota Board of Regents (Board) and its members in their individual capacities (Regents) for wrongfully terminating his employment as an administrator. His complaint asserts deprivations of his constitutional rights in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 as well as several pendent state law claims. This case is before us on appeal from the District court's grant of defendants-appellees' motions to dismiss Spinar's complaint and for summary judgment. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The facts leading to this lawsuit are stated briefly because our disposition of the case does not reach the merits of the appeal. In 1966, Spinar joined the South Dakota State University faculty as an associate professor of chemistry. Eventually he achieved the rank of full, tenured professor. In the early 1970s, Spinar became a full-time administrator, without tenure, in which position he served until July 1982 by virture of a series of one-year contracts. The Board notified him in September 1981 that it would be relieving him of his administrative duties as of June 30, 1982. In July 1982, Spinar returned to his former position as professor of chemistry. He later filed this action.
