Public Service Commission of Yazoo City and Richie Moore v. Patricia Wright

Summary

The court held that Wright failed to produce evidence supporting a wrongful-termination claim under Mississippi's public-policy exception to employment at will. She did not identify conduct by her supervisor that warranted criminal penalties, and her testimony did not show that she refused a request to participate in the alleged unlawful conduct. The court therefore reversed the denial of summary judgment and rendered judgment for the Public Service Commission.
