Angiuoni v. Town of Billerica, No. 14-2121 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff, an Army veteran, began working as a probationary patrol officer for the Billerica Police Department in 2009. Later that year, the town manager terminated Plaintiff’s employment. Plaintiff subsequently filed this action against the Town of Billerica and the chief of the police department under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, arguing that his status as veteran was a substantial or motivating factor in Defendants’ decision to terminate him. The district court entered judgment in favor of Defendants. Plaintiff appealed, identifying three evidentiary errors that he argued warranted a retrial. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that the challenged evidentiary rulings did not warrant a new trial.
