Settlement Involving No Payment Reached for Fire Department
Katie Weaver Hartzog obtained a recommendation by a magistrate judge in federal court for summary judgment in favor of a volunteer fire department in which plaintiff alleged First Amendment Retaliation and Equal Protection claims after her membership as a volunteer firefighter was terminated.
Based on the recommendation, Hartzog was able to negotiate a settlement involving no monetary payment which allowed the plaintiff to “resign” in exchange for agreeing not to reapply for membership.
