RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.
Thomas J. Tacket sued his employer, the Delco Remy division of General Motors (General Motors), for wrongful discharge in breach of his employment contract. The district court held that, as a matter of Indiana law, Mr. Tacket’s filing and prosecution of a defamation suit against General Motors was just cause for dismissal, and it granted summary judgment to General Motors.
