OPINION OF THE COURT
SCIRICA, Circuit Judge.
In this diversity action, we are asked to predict certain parameters of the employment-at-will doctrine under Delaware law. Relying on the “public policy exception” to the doctrine, plaintiff claimed he was unlawfully terminated for protesting his employer’s illegal billing scheme. After a jury rendered a verdict for plaintiff, defendant employer moved for judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, a new trial. The district court denied both motions. Paolella v. Browning-Ferris, Inc., 973 F.Supp. 508, 510 (E.D.Pa.1997). We will affirm.
