Wilburn v. Mid-South Health Development, Inc.

Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

Decided September 10, 2003No. 02-5040PublishedCited by 39 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

EBEL, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiffs-Appellants Paula Diane Wilburn and Virginia Pearl Shroyer ask us to find that Oklahoma public policy prohibited their termination from their at-will employment and to reverse the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendant-Appellee Mid-South Health Development, Inc. Because Plaintiffs have failed to identify any Oklahoma state law — constitutional, statutory, regulatory, or decisional — which articulates a public policy sufficiently strong to prevent their termination, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
