At any given time, a cursory glance at the Western District docket reveals that there is typically no shortage of interesting cases. This quarter was no exception. From the three cases discussed below emerge important takeaways for plaintiffs’ and defendants’ attorneys alike, particularly those litigating class-action claims.
Defamation Claims
Among the various employment discrimination cases decided this quarter, Senior District Judge David G. Larimer’s decision in Whipple v. Reed Eye Assocs., No. 15-CV-6759L, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 136903 (W.D.N.Y. Oct. 3, 2016) stands out. What makes this case interesting, however, is not necessarily its potential impact on anti-discrimination jurisprudence, but, rather, the analysis of common law claims that were seemingly tangential to the plaintiff’s allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation.
