J. Morrison grants the employer's motion for summary judgment, ruling the employee failed to prove any of the reasons given for her termination shortly after she reported patient care concerns were pretextual. The employee told supervisors she did not "want to return to the building" when she lodged her complaints, which could reasonably be interpreted to mean the employee did not want to return to work, while the employee's frequent tardiness and recording of conversations with coworkers also gave the nursing facility a legitimate reason to fire her.

J. Sammartino denies the employee's motion to remand a wage-and-hour class action against American Airlines to state court.

Using this violation rate, the amount in controversy comes out to roughly $16 million, which easily clears the $5 million federal jurisdiction hurdle set by the Class Action Fairness Act.
