1Opinion of the Court
WOOD, Circuit Judge.
From March 2002 to June 2003, J. Richard Tanner worked as an Asset Manager in the Atlanta office of Jupiter Realty Corporation (Jupiter), a Chicago-based commercial real estate company. Shortly after Tanner expressed some concerns about one of the company’s loans, Jupiter fired him. Believing that this action was in retaliation for his whistle-blowing, Tanner sued, invoking the federal court’s diversity jurisdiction. Applying Georgia law to the claim, the district court granted summary judgment for Jupiter: We affirm.
