Alaska Supreme Court
Terri Reynolds-Rogers, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Health & Social Services, Appellee.
March 8, 2019436 P.3d 469
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s summary‑judgment rulings, holding that the employee’s settlement of union grievances barred her covenant of good faith claim, the statute of limitations barred most disability discrimination claims, and that DHSS properly accommodated her PTSD and had legitimate, non‑pretextual reasons for her termination. Accordingly, the court affirmed the dismissal of the employee’s claims for breach of covenant, failure to accommodate, disability discrimination, and retaliation. The decision also noted that the employee’s arguments on equitable tolling were waived because they were not raised in the lower court.
