171167P.pdf   08/06/2018  Dustin Hess  v.  Union Pacific Railroad Co.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1167
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Federal Railway Safety Act. The district court did not err in 
   granting the railroad summary judgment on plaintiff's FRSA retaliation 
   claim as a reasonable jury could not find retaliation for plaintiff's 
   reporting of a workplace injury was a contributing factor to his 
   separation from employment with the railroad; plaintiff did not provide 
   proof by a preponderance of the evidence that his separation from 
   employment was the result of retaliation for seeking medical treatment.
