Civil Action No. 07-cv-00259-RPM.
November 28, 2007
ORDER GRANTING SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Upon consideration of the defendant's motion for summary judgment, filed November 5, 2007, and the plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment, filed November 5, 2007, and the oral arguments of counsel heard today and upon the Court's recital of the facts not in dispute, the Court finds and concludes that the plaintiff has failed to demonstrate any evidentiary support for his claims for the existence of an express or implied contract or for the equitable claim of promissory estoppel because vague promises of protection and non-retaliation are insufficient to support any of the plaintiff's claims. Additionally, the plaintiff has failed to show an evidentiary basis for drawing an inference that his position reassignment by David Harrison in October, 2005, had any connection with any particular action of the plaintiff that would warrant protection. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the defendant's motion for summary judgment is granted and the Clerk will enter judgment for the defendant dismissing all of the plaintiff's claims and for costs. The plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment is denied.
