GATES v. GADSDEN COUNTY SCHOOL BD.

No. 1D09-3636.

45 So.3d 39 (2010)

Martha GATES, Appellant, v. GADSDEN COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Rehearing Denied September 30, 2010.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Marie A. Mattox , Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Deborah Stephens Minnis and Opal McKinney-Williams , Ausley & McMullen, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


HAWKES, C.J.

In this Title VII anti-retaliation case, the circuit court granted summary judgment, holding Appellant's status as a volunteer disqualified her from raising a Title VII claim and that she would be unable to establish that material adverse action had been taken against her. We reverse, finding Appellant's status as a former employee qualifies her for Title VII protection from her former employer's allegedly retaliatory postemployment actions.
