The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, five days after the city notified Merlene Patrice Bourdeau-Quispe that it had conducted an investigation into her complaint and decided not to rehire her.

Bourdeau-Quipse, who has worked for the city for 14 years, claims her supervisors pressured her to produce fake numbers to support deceptive internal audits.

Bourdeau-Quispe is seeking reinstatement of her job, lost wages and benefits and compensatory damages.
