2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Brown v. Trench · Brown v. Trench“[The plaintiff] claims that the dismissal from her job without a hearing deprived her of a property interest without due process of law. Property interests are created by state law. As the Supreme Court ruled in Bishop v. Wood, 426 U.S. 341 , 96 S.Ct. 2074 , 48 L.Ed.2d 684 (1976), “A property interest in employment can, of course, be created by ordinance, or by an implied contract. In either case, however, the sufficiency of the claim of entitlement must be decided by reference to state law.” Id. at 344 , 96 S.Ct. at 2077 . In this case, we must apply the law of Pennsylvania to determine whether [the plaintiff] was deprived of a property interest.”
