Terminated wrongfully

On Monday 4/1, in a meeting for 2001 performance review, which only my manager and I were present, without going over the evaluation, my manager verbally told me that I am terminated immediately due to poor performance in 2001. My manager watched while I packed my belongings. Eight days later, when I received a copy of my personnel file I noticed that the reason for termination is stated as Involuntarily, and that my manager has made a lot of comments contrary to the facts, as well as fabricated some of the events. The company policy states a four point process for termination, including written warnings and consuling. I have never received any such warning during 2001, and there is no such thing in my personnel folder. Do I have a case against them? Is there a way for me to bring him and his manager to an arbitration table with one of the objectives being revision of performance review?
