Executive Summary
The Eighth Circuit affirmed dismissal of a former employee's claims against Honeywell for wrongful termination, disability discrimination, and defamation, ruling that Honeywell prevailed on all counts. The decision is a legal win but involves trivial financial exposure (a single former employee's suit) with no injunction or precedent risk, making it immaterial to Honeywell's stock.
