Taylor v. CNA Corp.
District Court, E.D. Virginia
1Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM OPINION
T.S. ELLIS, III, District Judge.
In this employment dispute, plaintiff claims his employer discriminatorily disciplined and constructively discharged him in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981. He also charges defendants with state law claims of defamation, breach of contract, tortious interference with business expectancy, civil conspiracy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. For the reasons that follow, all of plaintiffs claims fail on summary judgment insofar as the undisputed record facts demonstrate that defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
