Eladio Gonzalez, Appellant,
vs.
Northwings Accessories Corp., etc., Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Marc Schumacher, Judge.
Roderick V. Hannah, P.A., and Roderick V. Hannah (Plantation); Law Office of Pelayo Duran, P.A., and Pelayo M. Duran, for appellant.
Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson, P.A., and Robert T. Kofman, Bayardo Aleman, and Jorge Freddy Perera, for appellee.
Before EMAS, LOGUE and SCALES, JJ.
PER CURIAM. Appellant Eladio Gonzalez alleges a wrongful retaliatory termination of his
employment by Appellee Northwings Accessories Corporation. The trial court
granted summary judgment to Northwings as to Mr. Gonzalez’s claims under both
the Florida Whistleblower Act and the Florida Civil Rights Act. Based on the
record before us, we conclude that the trial court properly determined that Mr.
Gonzalez cannot establish that: (i) the grounds for his termination were causally
linked to protected activity under these two statutes; and (ii) his employer
evidenced a pretextual reason for his termination.
Affirmed.
