United States Eighth Circuit

In an action brought against plaintiff's employer raising a claim of retaliation under the Minnesota Whistleblower Act, summary judgment for the employer is affirmed where: 1) a refusal-to-participate claim based on plaintiff's silence at a meeting was meritless; 2) assuming plaintiff met good faith reporting requirements, her employer proffered legitimate reasons for her termination, which plaintiff failed to show were pretextual; and 3) there was no abuse of discretion in denying a motion to amend a scheduling order to permit a motion for sanctions against plaintiff's counsel.
