Alexandra Werba v. Association of Village Council Presidents

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for the Association of Village Council Presidents in an employee's pregnancy- and parenthood-discrimination action. The court held that the superior court acted within its discretion by allowing the employer to cure authentication deficiencies and supplement the summary-judgment record because the employee had a fair opportunity to respond. Considering the entire record, the court concluded that the employer offered legitimate nondiscriminatory reasons for the reassignment and termination and that the employee produced no evidence of pretext.
