Collis v. Bank of America
Citation: 364 F. App'x 819Docket: No. 08-2058
Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; January 25, 2010; Federal Appellate Court
Torina A. Collis filed a civil action claiming wrongful termination under the whistleblower provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, specifically 18 U.S.C.A. § 1514A. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the Defendant, and Collis subsequently appealed this decision. The appellate court affirmed the district court's ruling, referencing relevant case law (Livingston v. Wyeth, Inc., 520 F.3d 344, 351 (4th Cir. 2008)) that outlines the necessary elements to establish a retaliation claim under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The court concluded that oral argument was unnecessary as the issues were adequately addressed in the submitted materials.
