DiPietro v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• where there was strong evidence of conspiracy, fact that defendants convicted of substantive gambling charge were acquitted of conspiracy did not retroactively render inadmissible hearsay declarations of co-conspirators
• a judge need not disqualify himself merely because the defendant had been investigated with respect to another matter while the judge had served as U.S. Attorney
• members of Parole Board should be subject to deposition only under “exceptional circumstances”
• the cause of action accrued on the date that the plaintiff was discharged
• "In general, *** tenured public employees can only be discharged 'for cause' established in a hearing, while probationary public employees can be discharged for any reason or no reason and have no right to a hearing on the ground therefor."
• statute of limitations is jurisdictional and must be strictly construed
