“no facts to show that his clinical privileges would be analogous to medical staff privileges, that there was any explicit or implicit written or oral argument or understanding which created an entitlement to those privileges, or that the removal of his clinical privileges actually totally foreclosed his ability to practice ... did not meet his burden of presenting facts to show that a property interest existed.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Assuming that the report and the assignment stigmatized Moore, his retention of employment negates his claim that he was denied a “liberty.” When an employee retains his position even after being defamed by a public official, the only claim of stigma he has derives from the injury to his reputation, an interest that Paul reveals does not rise to the level of a liberty interest. The internal transfer of an employee, unless it constitutes such a change of status as to be regarded essentially as a loss of employment, does not provide the additional loss of a tangible interest necessary to give rise to a liberty interest meriting protection under the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment.”
