Jill Gerdrum obtained summary judgment for her client, Zoot Enterprises, Inc., in a wrongful discharge case brought by its former Vice-President of Marketing.  The Montana Eight Judicial District Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend his complaint to add a second wrongful discharge claim and a claim for age discrimination on grounds those claims would be futile.  The Court then granted Zoot’s motion for summary judgment on the only pending claim, terminating the district court action.
