Discrimination/Retaliation

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Ali (10th Cir., December 28, 2017) (affirming judgment for Jetstream on Muslim women’s discrimination claim: disposal of records was not in bad faith; refusal to give adverse-inference instruction was not abuse of discretion)

*Mottas v. Department of the Army (10th Cir., December 27, 2017) (affirming Merit Systems Protection Board denial of corrective action based on his claim of retaliation for whistleblowing: the actions would have been taken regardless of Mottas’ disclosures)

*Cases marked with an asterisk are cases the 10th Circuit does not consider binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. They may be cited, however, for persuasive value under Fed.R.App.P. 32.1 and 10th Cir.R. 32.1.
