Substance abuse agreement, wrongful termination, at-will employee doctrine, public policy.

Donald Blankenship, a former employee of the O'Sullivan Plastics Corp., appeals a lower court's ruling concerning his wrongful termination suit. Blankenship's was dismissed when he refused to sign the company's substance abuse agreement. Blanksenship filed suit against company. The company contends Blankenship could be dismissed without cause because he was an "at-will" employee. The company responded by filing a motion for summary judgment.

The Third Judicial District Court ruled in favor of the company. The court noted Blakenship's "at-will" employment permitted the company to dismiss him without incurring liability. Blankenship appeals.

The company wins. The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the ruling of the lower jurisdiction.
