  • Law Court: The court eliminated the McDonnell Douglas framework from summary judgment analysis in Maine Whistleblowers’ Protection Act cases; and held that plaintiff had presented sufficient evidence of a WPA violation based on differential treatment, a disproportionate response, and an inference that the decisionmaker knew about plaintiff’s WPA-protected activity, even though there was no “temporal proximity” between the protected activity and the adverse job action (a nearly two-year gap)
  • Law Court: The court denied Rule 60(b)(4) motion to set aside judgment as void despite argument that plaintiff had lacked standing, which is an issue of justiciability, not jurisdiction
