Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clayton County, John J. Bauercamper, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (6 pages)
Andre Ruby appeals the grant of summary judgment in favor of his former employer, Central Community Hospital (CCH), on his wrongful-discharge claim. He claims he was fired in retaliation for reporting wrongdoing at CCH. OPINION HOLDS: We find no error in the district court’s conclusion that Ruby failed to articulate a public policy that would protect his discharge from CCH.
