I.
1)
What were the material facts of the case?
White brought a suit against FCI, White’s former employer, because she was
wrongfully terminated on March 29, 2001. White claimed to be wrongfully
terminated because she refused to perform illegal acts for the company and
sued the company for punitive damages, attorney’s fees, pre-judgment
interest, court costs, and compensatory damages for lost pay, lost fringe
benefits, front pay, loss of wage earning capacity, harm to White’s credit and
credit reputation, and mental anguish and emotional distress (both past and
future). This case was an appeal from a previous suit which was removed for
lack of jurisdiction due to diversity. White had not specified the total amount
of monetary relief she was seeking.
2)
What were the issue(s)/question(s) the Court is addressing?
This current case is to determine whether the amount of monetary relief
White is claiming exceeds $75,000.
