   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1965
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Lay and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Employment discrimination. The district court did not err in finding plaintiff was not entitled to protection under the Minnesota Whistleblower's statute as there was no evidence to demonstrate plaintiff made a report for the purpose of exposing a previously unknown illegality; plaintiff did not make a prima facie case of pregnancy discrimination as the circumstances surrounding her alleged termination did not give rise to an inference of discrimination; defamation claim was properly dismissed as there was no provable false statement of fact; battery claim was properly dismissed as plaintiff's sole remedy for a workplace battery is the Minnesota Workers Compensation Act.
