JIM REYES,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
TRUGREEN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
(February 22, 2008)
Before TJOFLAT, MARCUS and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
In his two-count amended complaint in this case, Jim Reyes seeks
compensatory and punitive damages against his former employer, TruGreen
Limited Partnership, under Florida’s Workers’ Compensation law, in Count I, and
compensatory damages under Florida’s Whistle-Blowers Act, in Count II. The
gist of Reyes’s allegations is that TruGreen retaliated against him for filing a
worker’s compensation claim and for giving deposition testimony in a worker’s
compensation retaliation case filed by another TruGreen employee. After the
parties joined issue and engaged in discovery, TruGreen moved for summary
judgment.
In a comprehensive order in which it dealt at length with each of Reyes’s
allegations, the district court found no merit in Reyes’s claims and granted
TruGreen summary judgment. Record, Vol. 2 at Tab 62. Reyes now appeals,
claiming error in each of the district court’s dispositive rulings. We find no error,
and for the reasons the court gave in its order granting summary judgment, we
conclude that Reyes’s claims lack merit.
AFFIRMED.
