Diana Guethlein v. United States Postmaster General

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
Diana Guethlein v. United States Postmaster General, 550 F. App'x 294 (6th Cir. 2014)

Diana Guethlein v. United States Postmaster General

Opinion

ROGERS, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiff Diana Guethlein, a postal service employee, appeals from an order of summary judgment granted by the district court in favor of defendant, the United States Postmaster General. Ms. Guethlein sued under Title VII and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, alleging retaliation in the form of a disciplinary action (called a “suspension,” but involving no loss of work or pay) for repeated refusal to respond to correspondence from her employer while on leave under the Family Medical Leave Act, but allegedly because of a previous unsuccessful EEOC complaint. The district court adopted the Magistrate Judge’s conclusions rejecting plaintiffs claims, and granted summary judgment to defendant.

This court has received the benefit of briefing and oral argument, and has determined that no purpose would be served by elaborating on the reasoning of the district court rejecting plaintiffs arguments.

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED for the reasons given by the district court in its published opinion of December 20, 2012. Guethlein v. Donahoe, 913 F.Supp.2d 480 (S.D.Ohio 2012).
