Raymond Gallipo v. City of Rutland

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the City on Gallipo’s retaliation and discriminatory-termination claims because his unanswered requests for admission and noncompliant statements of disputed facts established a record on which he could not prove an adverse employment action or causal connection. The court also affirmed dismissal of the City’s unjust-enrichment counterclaim, holding that courts may not create a reimbursement right for interim workers’ compensation benefits when the Legislature has provided none. The court declined to reach whether the workers’ compensation decision independently had collateral-estoppel effect.
