United States Eighth Circuit

Summary judgment was properly granted to defendant-employer on plaintiff's claim that he was constructively discharged after complaining of being forced to forge log sheets. There is no clear public policy against violating admiralty law; the evidence indicates that plaintiff voluntarily left his employment after continually, albeit reluctantly, violating the law.
