Morgan Roach and Jeff Kratofil filed a lawsuit claiming a female police officer was terminated because of her gender by the City of Richmond, Missouri. The City immediately moved to dismiss and argued that the officer had not suffered an actionable adverse employment action because she had been reinstated after an administrative hearing. In written briefs, Morgan was able to demonstrate that, despite her reinstatement, the officer had suffered an adverse employment action sufficient enough for her to proceed to trial. The parties conducted discovery and eventually reached a settlement of the claims in 2010.
