Nov. 9 Oral Argument Set in Whistleblower’s Appeal vs. Charter

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals set in-person oral argument Nov. 9 at 9 a.m. CST in New Orleans in plaintiff-appellant Darrell Seybold’s challenge of the district court’s dismissal of his whistleblower’s complaint against Charter Communications, said a signed clerk’s order Thursday (docket 23-10104). Seybold, a former Charter sales executive, alleges he was terminated for exposing Charter’s unlawful "cooking the books," in violation of the whistleblower protections in the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act (see 2304040022). Charter maintains Seybold was terminated for his long record of unprofessional conduct.
