NEW: Murphy v. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, D. Maine,23Aug2013. Nurse Amber Murphy alleged retaliation after objecting to a patient's involuntary commitment. The court denied dismissal/summary judgment at that stage and expressly distinguished pleaded facts from the defendants' opposing account. This was not a final liability finding and not a finding that Murphy was hospitalized. Later disposition remains unlocated. It expands the inquiry to the treatment of staff who challenge an intervention affecting someone else.
