Docket
Opinion Summary

Facts

  1. Plaintiff Nubian Nuh Mohammed alleges that Defendant Allied Universal Security Services updated employment documents with his legal name without permission [lines="13-14"].
  2. Plaintiff asserts claims of identity fraud, negligence, and wrongful discharge for filing a complaint [lines="16-18"].
  3. The complaint is extensively lengthy, comprising 257 pages and 61 counts [lines="34-35"].
  4. Plaintiff's negligence claim stems from Defendant's alleged duty to maintain correct employee files and ensure compliance [lines="100-101"].
  5. Plaintiff requested that the Defendant reflect his new legal name in their system, which the Defendant complied with [lines="106-112"].

Issues

  1. Does Plaintiff have a viable claim for identity fraud under Massachusetts law, specifically M.G.L. c. 266, § 37E(b)? [lines="62-66"]
  2. Is there a private right of action for wrongful discharge due to filing a complaint under M.G.L. c. 149, § 105B? [lines="75-76"]
  3. Did the Plaintiff adequately plead a negligence claim against the Defendant? [lines="104-106"]

Holdings

  1. The court concluded that the claim for identity fraud does not provide a private right of action and must be dismissed [lines="98-99"].
  2. The wrongful discharge claim also lacks a private right of action, resulting in dismissal [lines="97-99"].
  3. The court found Plaintiff's negligence claim insufficiently pleaded, as he failed to show how a duty was breached or how his injury was connected to the Defendant's actions [lines="120-122"].
