Pugh v. State of Wis. Dept. of Natural Resources

1 Citing case

  1. Beene v. St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center

    111 F. Supp. 2d 931 (N.D. Ohio 2000)   Cited 3 times
    In Beene, Plaintiff, a nurse, was terminated for numerous missteps in caring for patients, including falsifying a medical chart.

    Electronic Data Systems, 1996 WL 99311 at *6. See also Smith v. Monsanto Chemical Co., 770 F.2d 719, 723 (8th Cir. 1985) (upholding discharge based on disciplinary infraction even though plaintiff flatly denied any misconduct); Johnson v. J.C. Penney, Co, 876 F. Supp. 135 (N.D.Tex. 1995) (same); Garrisson v. Maryland, 850 F. Supp. 366 (D.Md. 1994) (same); Pugh v. Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources, 749 F. Supp. 205 (E.D.Wis. 1990) (same). Thus, absent evidence that the employer manufactured an infraction to cover up discriminatory motive, a mere dispute as to why the employee actually committed the underlying infraction is insufficient to go to trial.
