Description
Saundra Henson was an employee of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's ("NASA") Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. She worked within the division of Health, Safety, and Security. Henson filed a lawsuit against NASA and her division chief, Julian M. Earls, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Henson claimed that NASA and Earls committed several common law torts against her. In addition, Henson claimed that NASA violated the Privacy Act by divulging personal medical information to other NASA employees. The district court disposed of the case on summary judgment. The district court granted summary judgment on the common law tort claims because these claims must be pursued through the Federal Tort Claims Act which requires an administrative procedure, not a judicial one. The court granted summary judgment on the Privacy Act claim because the court held that there was no genuine dispute of a material fact. Henson appeals. For the reasons stated below, the decision of the district court is affirmed on the common law tort claims and reversed on the Privacy Act claim.
