U.S. District Court Judge Dale Drozd did, however, allow some claims to continue and gave the former employee, Jeffrey Mazik, three weeks to file an amended complaint.
"This is an important victory not only for Mr. Mazik but for everyone who cares about access to high quality health care," managing partner Adam Pollock told Courthouse News.

"We are very gratified by the court's decision," he added.
