State supreme court dismisses LLNL whisteblower lawsuit
CBS Channel 5: The California Supreme Court today dismissed a whistleblower lawsuit filed by two former Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory employees, Les Miklosy and Luciana Messina, who claimed they were forced out of their jobs because they raised concerns about safety at the National Ignition Facility project.
The court said the "plain language" of the state's whistleblower law precludes the lawsuit because the University of California had already considered the retaliation complaint.
The court, in a decision issued in San Francisco, upheld rulings by an Alameda County Superior Court judge and a state appeals court in dismissing the lawsuit.
