District of Columbia Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court
FARRELL, Associate Judge:
Petitioner contests a determination by the Director of the Department of Employment Services (DOES) that her discharge from employment was not in retaliation for claiming compensation under the District of Columbia Workers’ Compensation Act, D.C.Code §§ 36-301 to -345 (1988) (the Act). Because we agree with the Director that petitioner failed to establish that her discharge was motivated by a retaliatory animus, we affirm the denial of reinstatement and back pay.
I
Petitioner, a special police officer employed by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)…
