U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-2012
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Hansen and Bye, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - diversity. Grant of summary judgment to employer in
claim under Minnesota Whistleblower Statute is affirmed, as employee
did not believe commission practice was a violation of state or federal
law; she considered the practice wrong, unethical and commissions fraud,
but not illegal, and thus her claim under the statute failed. Common law
claim for wrongful discharge in violation of public policy likewise failed.
