STATE ex rel. OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, 105251, 2008 OK 65, ___ P.3d ___</title><link>http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=451931</link><description><![CDATA[&para;0 Michael Glasco worked as a security officer for the Department of Corrections. He suffered a work-related injury. The Department placed him on leave without pay, and he received temporary total disability benefits. After being on leave without pay for more than a year, the Department discharged Glasco pursuant to 74 O.S.Supp.2002, &sect; 840-2.21. Glasco initiated a tort claim against the Department, alleging retaliatory discharge under 85 O.S.2001, &sect;&sect; 5-7. The Department moved for summary judgment, arguing Glasco&#39;s discharge is governed by the state personnel statute, &sect; 840-2.21, and not by the workers&#39; compensation statute, &sect; 5. Glasco responded and moved for partial summary judgment, arguing &sect; 840-2.21(D) is discriminatory and a special law prohibited by the Okla. Const., art. V, &sect;&sect; 46 and 59, and it restricts access to the courts in violation of the Okla. Const., art. II, &sect; 6. On October 16, 2007, the district court filed a journal entry denying Glasco&#39;s motion for partial summary judgment and granting the Department&#39;s motion for summary judgment. Glasco timely appealed, challenging the constitutionality of 74 O.S.Supp.2002, &sect; 840-2.21(D) and the propriety of the summary judgment. This Court retained the appeal.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:00:00 CST</pubDate></item><item><title>McQUEEN, RAINS &amp; TRESCH, LLP v.

The Honorable Bryan Dixon, District Judge, granted summary judgment to the archbishop and the diocese and certified that no reason existed for delaying in filing a final judgment on all claims alleged against these two defendants. Parishioner appealed and the Court of Civil Appeals, Division IV, affirmed the judgment of the District Court. Parishioner's petition for certiorari was granted by this Court. We hold that the trial court properly granted judgment on the theories of  respondeat superior , vice principal, and fiduciary duty, and other grounds not raised on certiorari, but erred in granting judgment on the negligent supervision, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy theories.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:00:00 CST</pubDate></item><item><title>O&apos;DARLING v.
