United States Ninth Circuit

In a dispute involving the scope of the whistleblower provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 18 U.S.C. section 1514A(a)(1), summary judgment in favor of the defendant is affirmed because section 1514A(a)(1) only protects disclosures to enumerated categories of recipients, and not to the media.
