21-3158
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Richard Young.
Civil. Affirms the grant of summary judgment to Penguin Random House on Kristie Alley’s retaliation claim, and the earlier dismissal of her breach of contract claim.
