Plaintiff Kerry Dennison began working at SCI-Mahanoy as a Psychological Services Associate in November of 1 995. Officials at SCI-Mahanoy fired Dennison on June 30, 2 000. At the time of his dismissal, Dennison had reached the level of a Psychological Services Associate 2. Dennison alleges that while he worked at SCI-Mahanoy the individual defendants continually harassed, intimidated, and threatened him in an effort to force him out of his position. Defendants took these actions in retaliation for Dennison’s complaints regarding discrimination in employment practices and parole determinations.
