Office of Attorney Gen. v. Weatherspoon (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter Ginger Weatherspoon was fired from her position as an assistant attorney general at the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), Weatherspoon sued the OAG under the Whistleblower Act. The OAG filed a plea to the jurisdiction, arguing that Weatherspoon’s allegations were not sufficient to invoke the Act and waive the state entity’s immunity from suit for retaliatory discharge. The trial court denied the OAG’s plea. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court granted the OAG’s petition for review, reversed the court of appeals’ judgment, and dismissed the case, holding that Weatherspoon could not show that her reports met the Act’s requirements, and therefore, the OAG remained immune from suit.
