U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-2937
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Riley, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Minnesota Whistleblower Act. Supervisor's comment that
plaintiff would be "on the street" if he did not "get creative with
[his]documentation" concerning a potentially defective product provided a
specific link between plaintiff's protected conduct and his termination;
the comment was sufficient to support a finding by a reasonable fact
finder that an illegitimate criterion actually motivated the adverse
employment action, and the district court erred in granting the employer
summary judgment on plaintiff's Whistleblower Act claim.
