Martha Locke v. SunTrust Bank

HULL, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff-appellant Martha Locke filed suit against her employer, SunTrust Bank, for injuries she sustained when a robber shot her during a bank robbery of the SunTrust branch where she worked. The district court dismissed Locke’s complaint with prejudice, concluding: (1) that Locke’s negligence claim against her employer was barred by the exclusivity provisions of Florida’s workers’ compensation laws; and (2) that Locke’s complaint failed to state a claim for an intentional tort by her employer. After review and oral argument, we affirm.
