Heading: Retaliation for Filing a Worker's Compensation Claim

Text: 33 Under Kansas law, an employee who cannot return to his or her former position does not have a retaliatory discharge claim. Griffin v. Dodge City Coop. Exch., 23 Kan.App.2d 139, 927 P.2d 958, 964 (Kan.Ct.App.1996). The district court held that Nash-Finch was entitled to summary judgment on Witherspoon's retaliatory discharge claim because Witherspoon was not physically able to perform any available positions at Nash-Finch. Based on Witherspoon's admission in his deposition that he could not perform any available jobs, there is no genuine dispute on this matter. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment on this claim.
