Haddle v. Garrison
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Unpublished Opinion, Docket No. 96-8856 (1997)
Relevant factsFree
Michael Haddle (plaintiff), an at-will employee of Healthmaster Home Health Care, sued his former employer and officer Garrison (defendant), alleging he was fired to keep him from testifying as a witness in a criminal trial. The district court held that his claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1985(2) failed because an at-will employee suffers no actual injury from termination, and dismissed the case. Haddle appealed.
IssueFree
Whether a complaint should be dismissed for failure to state a claim when, even taking all its factual allegations as true, the plaintiff still is not entitled to relief under the law.
