We write to provide clarification of the facts provided in the case summary and an update regarding McGreal v. Ostrov, "Privacy Violation in Fitness-for-Duty Evaluation" (Volume 33, Number 2, pp 2724, 2005).
Although Officer McGreal was served with an Administrative Complaint filed by Chief Wood seeking his termination, Officer McGreal was not terminated. The Administrative Complaint was resolved by a settlement that preserved Officer McGreals rights to pursue his claims in federal court. The appeals court reversed the district courts summary judgment in favor of the defendants and remanded the case for a new trial (the subject of the Legal Digest article). The defendants settled the lawsuit during the second trial for the amount of $900,000. Officer McGreal remains a 24-year veteran police officer for the Village of Alsip, Illinois.
Officer McGreal contacted Dr. Stolar directly to provide clarification regarding his employment and the update regarding the settlement of the case.
