Admin. Office of Courts v. Miller
Annotate this CaseBeverly Miller’s employment with the COJ (Court of Justice) ended when she was terminated in 2001. Miller filed suit, claiming that she was a tenured employee of the COJ and therefore, before she was terminated, she was entitled to the due process provided in the COJ Personnel Policies. Miller also filed a whistleblower claim under Ky. Rev. Stat. 61.102. The circuit court (1) granted summary judgment to Miller as to her claims based upon her being a tenured employee; and (2) granted summary judgment to the Administrative Office of the Courts on Miller’s claim under the Kentucky Whistleblower Statute. The Supreme Court (1) reversed as to Miller’s tenured employee claims, holding that, as a matter of law, Miller was not a tenured employee and was not entitled to termination due process under the COJ Personnel Policy; and (2) affirmed as to the dismissal of Miller’s claims under section 61.102, holding as a matter of law that Miller did not report or disclose previously concealed or non-public information that would entitle her to protection under the statute.
