606-02011 Allan Clark v. Pamela Randi Johnson


William A. McDaniel, Jr., Esquire 410-685-3810 Employment/Constitutional


Te Honorable Dennis M. Sweeney Howard County


In this interesting, but unfortunately not unique, case the plaintiff alleges that he was terminated from his position as actuary for the Maryland Insurance Administration when he failed to prepare reports favorable to political backers of then-governor Ehrlich. He further alleges that after truthfully testifying before a special committee of the state legislature, his former superior at the Insurance Administration (a political appointee of then- governor Ehrlich) prepared a memorandum stating that the plaintiff was not a fully- accredited actuary, was not a fellow of a certain actuarial society and was not a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and that all these alleged deficiencies had contributed to allegedly poor work performance and his termination.


Te plaintiff


alleges these statements were false, defamatory and made in retaliation. Te issue on appeal is whether the Circuit Court erred in dismissing certain counts on the grounds that facts could not be pleaded to demonstrate the personal animus necessary to overcome any immunity the defendant might enjoy under the Maryland Tort Claims Act.
