Lost a federal appeal on November 4, 2020, in the disability and due-process lawsuit he filed against Sheriff Tom Dart and Cook County. The court upheld the Sheriff's Office's 2015 decision to drop him from its police academy. An internal probe had found his answers about his disabled parking placard untruthful. The court also upheld the office's refusal to promote him after it put him on its list of officers with credibility problems (Brady list).
