Mirabella v. Town of Lexington, Mass., No. 22-1153 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the decision of the district court entering summary judgment for Defendants on all of Plaintiff's claims in this wrongful termination case, holding that there was no error in the trial court proceedings.
Plaintiff, a former police officer, filed a complaint against the town of Lexington, Massachusetts and its retired chief of police, arguing that Defendants denied him due process during the proceedings that led to the termination of his employment and that Defendants intentionally interfered with his efforts to gain employment elsewhere. The district court entered summary judgment for Defendants on all claims. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that there was no material fact in dispute as to whether the reason stated for refusing to hire Plaintiff was pretextual and that there was sufficient evidence from which a reasonable jury could find that Defendants' stated reason for denying him employment was pretextual.
