Despite my prediction, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the lower court's decision to dismiss former coach retaliation Robin Potera-Haskins's case against Montana State. Apparently the appellate panel was not as concerned as I was about the trial judge's failure to give reasons for his determination that Potera-Haskins lacked credibility, or why it made sense to assume, in an employment case, that money damages were not at issue and therefore a jury trial was not warranted. But the judges certainly didn't take the time to say why, affirming the lower court's decision in a four-sentence, unpublished opinion.
