United States First Circuit

In a Marine veteran's adverse employment suit under section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act, which requires federal employers to adopt affirmative action programs for disabled veterans and prohibits discrimination against them, district court's judgment in favor of the defendant is affirmed, as the Act does not entitle plaintiff to relief when retaliation for his complaints about disability discrimination is a motivating factor in, but not the but-for cause of, an adverse employment action.
