We reverse the district court’s judgment as to Gonzalez’s First Amendment claim brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Even viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Gonzalez, a reasonable person in Moran’s position would not have known that Gonzalez’s letter of September 28, 1995, constituted speech on a matter of public concern. See infra Part III. On the other hand, we affirm the district court’s judgment as to Gonzalez’s claim brought under 42 U.S.C. § 3617. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Gonzalez, a reasonable person in Moran’s position would have known that her termination of Gonzalez’s employment was unlawful. See infra Part rv. I.
