Case: Individual Employment Rights/Whistleblowing (M.D. La.)

A Louisiana federal district court denied St. Gabriel Health Clinic, Inc.'s motion to strike and partially denied its motion to dismiss, preserving a Black female interim CEO’s claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and whistleblower claims under the National Defense Authorization Act, finding that the health clinic failed to properly challenge the §1981 claim by arguing about national origin rather than race, and that the CEO plausibly alleged she exhausted administrative remedies and was retaliated against for reporting misuse of federal funds.
