U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-1972
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case. Defendant Milligan, in his official capacity as the Treasurer
of the State of Arkansas, was immune from claims arising under the
Rehabilitation Act as he neither accepted nor distributed federal
financial assistance; jury instructions on defamation were not erroneous;
the court did not abuse its discretion when it refused to give plaintiff's
proposed supplemental instruction on invasion of privacy or his proposed
instruction on agency and cat's paw theory in relation to an ADA claim;
claims the district court improperly excluded evidence of plaintiff's
whistle-blowing activities were not supported by references to the record
and would not be considered.
