092531P.pdf   07/20/2010  David Frevert  v.  Ford Motor Company
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2531
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Shepherd,
   Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - employment law. Reports concerning violation of company
   policy did not qualify for whistleblower protection under Missouri law
   because they did not involve violations of specific legal provisions which
   were clear mandates of a public policy; plaintiff's affidavit in opposition
   to defendant's motion for summary judgment was a self-serving affidavit
   which attempted to add an element - that the conduct involved violation
   of state law - which was not present in his complaint, and it did not
   establish that plaintiff was entitled to whistleblower protection.
