FMLA.
Claim for denial of leave properly dismissed, as the maximum period of leave under the statute had already been exhausted.
As employee was incapable of returning to work, no basis for challenging ending of employment.
Although a suspension with later backpay can be the basis for an FMLA claim, plaintiff did not allege any monetary harm from the act, and it was therefore properly dismissed as a matter of law.
No material adverse action in workplace generally.
A federal statute with an express right of action cannot serve as the "public policy" basis for a state tort claim of wrongful discharge.
