Summary

Allen Griggs v Heartland Express, Court of Appeals, 7th Apr

What changed

The Washington Court of Appeals Division II filed an unpublished opinion affirming the lower court's judgment in the civil case Allen Griggs v. Heartland Express of Iowa. The appellant Allen Griggs, appearing pro se, challenged a Kitsap Superior Court order filed January 16, 2024. The three-judge panel (authored by Rebecca Glasgow, with concurring opinions from Bradley Maxa and Linda Lee) upheld the trial court's ruling.\n\nParties involved in similar employment disputes before Washington state courts should note that this unpublished opinion carries limited precedential value under GR 14.1(a) and cannot be cited. Pro se litigants and trucking industry employers should ensure compliance with employment law requirements to minimize litigation exposure.

What to do next

  1. Monitor for further appeals
  2. Review internal employment practices if affected
