White v. Town of Winthrop

Court of Appeals of Washington

Decided July 26, 2005No. 23012-1-IIIPublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

¶1 Steven D. White Jr. filed suit against bis employer for disability discrimination and invasion of privacy based on his employer’s unauthorized disclosure of his medical information to a local newspaper that published it. The trial court granted the employer’s summary judgment motion. Because Mr. White has asserted no colorable action under the disability discrimination law, we affirm dismissal of that cause. However, since he has presented issues of fact to sustain a common law action for the violation of his privacy, we reverse summary dismissal of that claim.
