CA1: Puerto Rican political discrimination claim fails

Morales-Tanon v. PR Electric Power Authority, No. 07-1774 affirms a dismissal in a Puerto Rican political discrimination case. There were two issues: when the statutes of limitations began to run (i.e. when a shift in office-holders became clear); and whether opening a failure to open a search is cognizable.  The First says that it isn’t.

I sort of like this line “Morales-Tañon, an attorney, has held a career position as a member of PREPA's Auction Committee since 1997. The complaint gives no information about what the Auction Committee does.”
