Description

Burle Beard, a State Department of Transportation ("DOT") employee, claims that after he made public allegations of corruption at DOT, his supervisors engaged in a pattern of harassment tactics to force him to resign. Beard filed a complaint in superior court against the state and several individual supervisors alleging various causes of action including: (1) wrongful constructive discharge, (2) intentional infliction of emotional distress, (3) denial of due process, (4) violation of 42 U.S.C. Â§ 1983, and (5) defamation. The superior court struck the first three of these claims from Beards complaint on the ground that he did not exhaust his remedies under his unions collective bargaining agreement ("CBA"). The superior court granted summary judgment against Beard on the other two claims. Beard appeals each of these rulings. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
