Executive Summary
Boston Scientific (BSX) won dismissal with prejudice of all 18 counts in a pro se former employee's employment-discrimination, privacy, and defamation lawsuit. The court held claims were time-barred, preempted by the MHRA, or substantively deficient. No damages were sought or awarded, and the dismissal eliminates a small, individual-case litigation risk with no precedent exposure.
