STATE OF MAINE SUPERIOR CGURT KENNEBEC, ss. Civil Action, Docket No. ALBERT TEWESTA Plaintiff v. Motion to Dismiss SOB TOWN 0F BENTGN, Complaint and Associated Counts Defendant NOW COMES the Defendant, by and through counsel, Richardson, Whitman, Large Badger, and moves to dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint as follows: COEJNTS i ii Defendant ?rst addresses Plaintiff?s 803 appeal and the 4-2 USC Section 1983 claim based upon procedural due process. The Plaintiff has alleged in paragraph 12 that under the Town?s personnel policy, a regular part?time employee is subject to all rules and regulations. See Complaint, paragraph l2. The Town?s personnel policy is attached hereto as Exhibit A, Leaving aside whether Plaintiff was a regular partmtime or temporary employee, for a regular partntime employee it states ?he/she is act to the rules and regulations,? Under those roles and regulations is Article 8 which is captioned ?Grievance Procedures.? This provides that if an employee is aggrieved by the application of any of the Town?s personnel rules, regulations or policy or terms of - employment, that individual has- five working days-front; the incident-to submit the details of a grievance in writing to the Board of Selectmen. A review of the Plaintiffs Complaint states that he received a caii on March 8Eh horn the Chairman of the Selectmen and was told that he would not be reappointed to the CEO position. (See Plaintiff Compiaint, paragraph 27 .) In Paragraph 15 of the Complaint, the reappointment if there was to be one was scheduled to take place on March 15th. Paragraph 4-1 of Plaintiff Complaint, it states that Mr. Tempesta made a request by letter dated March 25,- 2016 to have the decision to reappoint him rescinded. Even if one assumes this is the institution of the grievance process, the ?ve day period of time for filing a grievance wonld have expired on March 13th (5 days after the notice he was not going to be reappointed). Articie 9 is not optional. It uses the word ?shall? to submit the details of such grievance in writing to the Board of Selectmen. The Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted as to procedural due process. it is important to note that if a Town most afford the opportunity for a preutennination hearing, the terms of the employee policy which Plaintiff claims apply to him provide a premtermination remedy. As the Court will note, the decision on Whether or not he was going to be reappointed was to occnr on March Therefore, he had foil opportunity to submit the grievance prior to the March 15th expiration of Plaintiff term. The Town of Benton appointed the code enforcement of?cer by certificate. Attached as Exhibit is that certificate. As the Court will note, it is clear that the term of of?ce is to expire on March i5, 2016. The statute cited by Plaintiff alleging ?a - for cause? requirement for termination is not even-relevant- to the-present case as the job. expired on March 15, 2016. This document categoricaily eliminates any inference that this was ?condoning? or ?indefinite? employment or that anyone could possibly have a reasonable expectation of continuing employment because the job had a specific expiration date. Selectmen change, so do city councils. No person can have an expectation that the town?s needs and/or individuals making decisions would in fact continue to he the same indefinitely. Plaintiff also cites 30% M.R.S.A. Section 2601A. for the proposition that municipal officers appoint code enforcement of?cers. but they may only them for cause after notice and hearing. The flaw in that interpretation is that the statute applies to fixed terms of one year or more. Plaintiff was not removed during his fixed employment term. The statute makes sense because someone being removed during a fixed term of one year may be entitled to something very different than someone who is just not reappointed at the end of the fixed term. in any case. the statute is not applicable to the present action because 1) the Plaintiff was not ?removed?; and 2) there was no removal in a fixed term. Plaintiff states that Article 4 renders him a regnlar part-?time employee. Plaintiff quotes the de?nition that an employee who works less than the normal work week. but on a continuing basis. is a partwtime employee and subject to the personnel rules and regulations. The personnel policy does not, however. stop at that point. Most importantly, it states ?This classi?cation shall only be assigned at the discretion of the Board of Selectmen. Additional benefits may be granted by the Board of Selectmen.? Plaintiff has. not alleged. he had-that assignment. A ?temporary employee?.under the .. sarne personnel policy works on a nonnpermanent hasis, usually within a limited timeframe. An appointment at the beginning of the year for one year is surely nonw permanent and occurred Within a limited timeirame. Temporary employees are ?not entitled to? bene?ts. Plaintiff does not assert he received any bene?ts. Therefore, the Plaintiff is a ?temporary employee.? More importantly, the temporary employment status may be terminated for any reason at any time. The Plaintiff was hired on a non?permanent basis and with a limited timeframe. See Exhihit B. As the statute requiring a ?for cause? hearing does not apply, the personnel policy makes it clear there is no expectation of continuing employment. In addition, Article 1, Paragraph states ?The provisions set forth are not contractual, but rather are for general guidance of the Town in its relationship with its employees.? Therefore, the employee cannot state that he in fact has a contract or an expectation that this personnel policy was in fact a contract. It clearly states otherwise on its face. Generally in Maine, it has long been the rule that a contract of employment for an inde?nite length of time is terrninable at the will of either party. See Larmbee v. Penobscot Frozen Foods, Inc, 486 A.2d 97, 99 (Me. 3.984). iiere, there is no contract because the employer?s right to discharge only for cause is not clearly stated. In Libby v. Calais Regional Hospital, 554 A.2d llgl, ll83 (Me. 1998), the Court found that a disclaimer in the employee manual was not a contract. In Libby, the employee received and read the handbook which stated that it did not constitute a contract of employment. The Court went on to reiterate that a contract of employment for an inde?nite period is terminahle at the. will of either partyciting Rowell v. Jones and Vining, Inn, .524 AiZd .. .. . 1208, 1211 (Me. 1987). The law requires that the policy must use clear and express language to restrict the employer?s ability to discharge employees. The court found that language in a manual merely implying for cause limitation will not bind the employer. The court found the language that permits dismissal hased Luly on an employee?s ability to do his job constitutes a ?for cause? limitation. There is no such limitation in the Defendant?s personnel policy. In facts the only provision is in Article 5, Section 4 where the document talks ahout examples of infraction of rules of conduct that ?may result in dismissal action up to and including termination.? These are simply examples. It does not state that the employer must find one of these actions to change its right to terminate at will. Most importantlya Plaintiff was not terminated just not reahired. Here, there was also an opportunity for a pro-?termination hearing upon the ?ling of a grievance. The employee waived that by failure to file within the timeframe. Pro?hearing terminations are not required to be elaborate. What he would have been entitled to under the Article of grievance procedures was noti?cation by the Board of Selectmen, a meeting with the Board of Selectmen for the purpose of discussing the grievance. The employee would have received notice of the grievance hearing and. presumably would have been free to submit whatever evidence he chose at the hearing. In West v. Grand County 967 F.2d 3625 367 (10*h Cir. 3.992% the Court speci?cally found that a face to face meeting with supervisors and a conversation between the employee and their supervisor prior to the term expiration were suf?cient to satisfy the constitutionai requirements. There was no right to confront or cross-examine Witness and no right for legal counsel. This is exactly the opportunity that. would have been provided. to the .employeehad. he. filed a grievance. He may have received much. more rights in that hearing, in addition, he would have filed that grievance prior to not being reappointed which essentially occurred when he was not renewed on March l5. 2016. What is absent in this case is that removal need not have been based solely on merit or performance as there is nothing in the employee manual to suggest that an employer?s ability to terminate at will was in any way restricted. in Maine. a property interest in continued employment may be established by contract. Here, there is no contract which establishes that. The second Option is by statute. As Defendant has pointed out. the statute only applies for termination during a fixed term which this was not. Here. there is no objectively reasonable expectation of continued employment. The employee was first appointed in 2013. See Plaintiffs Complaint, paragraph 4. That would mean his first reappointment was in 2014 and he was reappointed in 2015. The expectation mast be objectively reasonable. Extending the contract on only two occasions for a 12-month fixed terrn hardly meets with an objectively reasonable expectation. The Plaintiff was given a new tone of one year on only two occasions. This last factor has to be looked at in light of the employment. As there is no clearly stated employment policy that states an employee roost be discharged for cause. there is no basis for an objective belief of continued employment. It may be that Plaintiff had long tenures at other townsa but that is irrelevant to the present action. Wherefore. the SOB Complaint should be dismissed by his failure to exhaust his administrative remedies and that neither the statute nor a reasonable expectation of continued employment exist. .. .. . Connt 2, the violation of procedural due process should he dismissed as well. The Plaintiff had a right to pare?termination through the grievance. He waived that right and was not reappointed. it is unknown how the grievance proceeding would have ended. The Court cannot be in a position to speculate whether or not his grievance procedure would have been successful in retaining his employment or not. I would also note that the grievance procedure applied to an employee and did not distinguish between full-s time, part?time or temporary. All employees even the temporary position of the i?laintiff had the right to ?le a grievance, however the time limitations are clearly set forth. Counts 3 and 4-, Age Discrimination/Whistleblower. Defendant acknowledges that an employer cannot use age as the basis for termination. Plaintiff admits in Paragraph 44 that he has ?begun the process of exhausting his administrative remedies by preparing a charge of discrimination to be filed with the Maine Human Rights Commission.? This is an acknowledgement that he has failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. Defendant acknowledges that an employee who reports to an employer somethng they have reasOnahle cause to believe is a violation of law is covered under the provisions of Title 26, Section 833. Section 833 has a second section which is applicable to the instant action. It states as follows: ?Subsection 1 does not apply to an employee who has reported or caused to be reported a violation or practice to a public body unless the employee has first brought the alleged condition to the attention of a person having supervisory authority with the employer and has allowed the employer a reason-able -- to correct that violation, condition-or practices.? Here, what the employee alleges is that there was a discussion. There is no allegation that this was anything other than an isolated single incident. in fact, on January 26. 20l6, the permit application for the telecommunication facility was cancelled. Count 5 is a violation of the Maine Freedom of Access Act. Plaintiff asserts the Town of Benton produced no written record of its decision not to reappoint Mr. Tempesta to the position of (EEG. The statute cited by Plaintiffs counsel is Title 26, Section 631 which provides the employee an opportunity to review a personnel file. in this odd allegation. Plaintiff alleges that the town failed to rnake any written record. As is clear from the certi?cate of hire. the Plaintiffs job ended. The Plaintiff cites no authority for the proposition that a written record of something the town di-dnlt do is statutorily required. The statute only applies to the government and a requirement to allow review of a document. not failing to create one. Gnce Mr. Tempesta?s job ended as per the certificate of employment, the Town has no requirements to tell him Why he was not selected. The statute cited in the Complaint states only that an employer is required to give an employee an opportunity to review his personnel ?le if the employer has a personnel file for that employee. There is no allegation that flaintiff was denied an opportunity to see his personnel file. The allegation is that something was not created by the town that Plaintiff thinks should he in the personnel file. This is no basis for a claim under Title 26. Section 631.
