We hold that Twyman had no independent cause of action for damages for Johnson’s alleged retaliation, and that the judge erred in submitting that count of the amended complaint and the counterclaim to the jury. We therefore reverse the judgment awarding Twyman $10,000 for retaliation and remand with directions to dismiss that count. We affirm the judgment directing a verdict for Johnson on the count of negligence. So ordered. 1 . As to the latter cause of action, see George Washington Univ. v. Weintraub, 458 A.2d 43 (D.C.1983). 2
