United States First Circuit
Booker v. Massachusetts Dep't of Pub. Health, 09-1082
In plaintiff's suit against her former employer and other individual defendants for retaliation and tortious interference with contractual employment relations, jury verdict in favor of the defendants and district court's denial of plaintiff's post-trial motions are affirmed where: 1) plaintiff's claim that the court's jury instruction on the meaning of a "materially adverse action" misstated the legal standard governing her retaliation claim is rejected; and 2) plaintiff failed to lay a proper evidentiary foundation for a spoliation instruction and therefore the court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to give it.
