Edward Tuohy filed a complaint against the City of Atlanta, Mayor Kasim Reed, and the Atlanta City Council collectively “the City”, alleging that he was terminated in retaliation in violation of the Georgia Whistleblower Act, OCGA § 45-1-4. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the City, and Tuohy now appeals. For the following reasons, we affirm.

On appeal from the grant of summary judgment, this court applies a de novo standard of review. Higginbotham v. Knight, 312 Ga. App. 525, 526 719 SE2d 1 2011. Summary judgment is proper when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. OCGA § 9 11 56 c. We must view the evidence, and all reasonable inferences drawn therefrom, in the light most favorable to the nonmovant. Matjoulis v. Integon Gen. Ins. Corp., 226 Ga. App. 459 1 486 SE2d 684 1997.
