J. Dorsey denies the Air Force realty specialist's motion for summary judgment on his employment discrimination claims. Subject to a 2-year probationary period during which he consistently received sub-par performance evaluations as well as reprimands for unprofessional conduct, the specialist was placed on probation. He then filed an informal racial discrimination complaint and was later fired. The Air Force has shown legitimate, nonretaliatory reasons for the termination. Nothing in the record shows that the Air Force used a personnel duties document for evaluating other realty specialists in the same program, or otherwise deviated from standard practice.

J. Mollway dismisses injunctive and declaratory relief for a mother and grandmother who say their children were wrongfully removed from their care while the mother was incarcerated. Custody of the children remains pending in state family court, and nothing prevents the mother and grandmother from bringing their claims in that court, precluding the federal court’s involvement. Claims for damages, however, are stayed pending the state court proceedings.

J. Casper denies in part a town administrator’s motion to dismiss complaints brought against her by a former town employee, who was fired for allegedly false allegations against her after she voiced opposition to the administrator’s proposed alterations to historic town hall infrastructure and furnishings. A statute protecting state officials from being sued for First Amendment violations does not protect the administrator because she was acting as a municipal official, not a state official, in her interactions with the former town employee.

J. Docherty denies the prisoner's motions for a preliminary injunction and to compel discovery in his case arguing that Minnesota prisons' policy regarding sexually suggestive photos violates prisoners' First Amendment rights. The prisoner is unlikely to succeed on the merits of his claims, and he has not established that he will suffer irreparable harm absent an injunction nor that harm to him outweighs the harm the prison system could suffer with an injunction. Overturning the policy would also be contrary to the public interest. Finally, the interrogatory he seeks answers to in his motion to compel, asking for information on the religious beliefs of people charged with inspecting content for nudity, is irrelevant.

J. Bissoon dismisses constructive discharge and hostile work claims against the school district. The wife of her now-deceased husband failed to prove her husband, who had Crohn’s disease, was discriminated against to the point he had to resign because he continued working there until his death. Details supporting the claim of hostile work were insufficient, so the court will allow the wife to submit an amended claim.

J. Bisson grants Waste Management’s partial motion to dismiss a former employee’s age discrimination, retaliation and harassment claims brought after he was fired for violating a company rule. The former employee’s claims fail because the cited laws apply to race, not age discrimination. The company is further ordered to file an answer to the surviving portions of the complaint.
