[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT FILED U.S. COURT OF APPEALS ELEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 05-14271 April 20, 2006 THOMAS K. KAHN CLERK D. C. Docket No. 03-01189 CV-CAP-1 MICHAEL A. WILLIAMS, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA, VERNON JONES, et al., Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (April 20, 2006) Before DUBINA, MARCUS and PRYOR, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Appellant Michael A. Williams (“Williams”) appeals the district court’s entry of summary judgment against him in his
42 U.S.C. § 1983action alleging deprivation of a liberty interest, without due process, arising from termination of his employment with the DeKalb County Police Department. The issue presented on appeal is whether the district court correctly granted summary judgment to the defendants because Williams was afforded a meaningful opportunity for a name-clearing hearing. After reviewing the record, reading the parties’ briefs, and having the benefit of oral argument, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment based on our precedents1 and the well-reasoned order of the district court filed on July 22, 2005. AFFIRMED. 1 See Cotton v. Jackson,
216 F.3d 1328, 1330 (11th Cir. 2000); Harrison v. Wille,
