United States Eighth Circuit

In a suit brought by a firefighter against a city and fire chief alleging violations of his constitutional rights and unlawful employment discrimination and retaliation under Title VII, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where a release plaintiff signed in resolving disciplinary proceedings barred claims relating to the agreement, and he failed to make a prima facie case on claims arising after the release.
