Lihosit v. I & W, INC.
New Mexico Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
BLACK, Judge.
David F. Lihosit (Lihosit) was employed as a truck driver by I & W, Inc. (I & W). In his complaint, Lihosit alleged I & W violated clear public policy by terminating him because he refused to return to work late at night to drive a truck in violation of state driving and hours-of-service regulations. I & W argued it did not have knowledge of this explanation for Lihosit’s failure to return to work and, therefore, could not have discharged him in retaliation for his involvement in a protected activity.
The case comes to this Court on Lihosit’s appeal of a summary judgment…
