This court has already interpreted that statute and held that it provides neither that employees at public hospitals in Mississippi are terminable at will nor that such employees are terminable only for cause; rather the statute governing community hospitals is “indisputably neutral.” Conley v. Board of Trustees of Grenada County Hosp., 707 F.2d 175, 179 (5th Cir.1983). The statute allows each hospital to make its own choice as to whether or not its employees will have a property interest in their continued employment. Id. at 180. Two months after the appellants were terminated, however, extensive revisions of the statutes governing community hospitals in Mississippi became effective. Und (5th Cir.1978) (<HOLDING>).

holding that a mississippi statute providing that employees could be terminated only for cause establishes a property interest under the fourteenth amendment holding that mississippi statute and city ordinance providing employer the right to discharge employees found inefficient or for other good cause creates a property interest holding that the fourteenth amendment only applies to state action holding that a public employee who may only be terminated for cause has a property interest in his position that is protected by the 14th amendment holding that contract of employment providing that professor could be terminated only for cause constituted property right protected by fourteenth amendment
