   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1350
                          and No:  19-1870
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Melloy and Erickson, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment law. In an action alleging GM violated the Moving 
   Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act by retaliating against 
   plaintiff for alerting management to motor vehicle defects falsely 
   reported and/or confirmed as repaired, the district court did not err in 
   granting GM summary judgment as plaintiff's complaint about the quality 
   control processes in a manufacturing plant are not information related to 
   a motor vehicle defect and he did not, therefore, engage in activity 
   protected under the statute; no error in awarding GM's costs (with the 
   exception of some postage and shipping costs GM concedes were erroneously 
   awarded). Judge Melloy, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
