Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters v. Village of Schaumburg

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendants' motion for summary judgment in section 1983 action alleging that defendants violated plaintiffs' First Amendment rights by denying their August 2009 request to stage protest on behalf of union where record showed that plaintiffs had abandoned said claim by responding to defendants' motion for summary judgment solely with allegations that concerned separate November, 2009 incident that occurred after date instant complaint had been filed. Ct. rejected plaintiffs' claim that both incidents constituted single wrong committed by defendant and further found that Dist. Ct. did not err in denying plaintiffs' request to amend instant complaint to include alleged November, 2009 incident.
