The Application
Maureen Comey, as a career AUSA in the Southern District of New York, possessed an established property interest in her federal employment. Her allegations that she was terminated without stated cause and denied an opportunity to contest the termination before being removed from office establish a potential due process violation.
The Conclusion
The case is active before Judge Jesse M. Furman in the Southern District of New York. The court will determine whether Comey's removal procedures violated her constitutional or statutory rights to notice and a pre-termination hearing opportunity.
