**Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances**
Plaintiff, a Sergeant First Class with the New Jersey State Police, filed a Complaint alleging that he was subject to retaliation for his claimed refusal to obey an order to discriminate against a subordinate State Police Sergeant on the basis of that Sergeant’s ethnicity. Specifically, Plaintiff contended that Captain Robert Forrester and Lieutenant Orlando Ramos, among other defendants, played vital roles in retaliating against him, preventing his promotion to Lieutenant and ultimately having him transferred for the alleged refusal to cooperate in discriminating against a subordinate Hispanic Sergeant.
After reviewing the moving papers and considering the arguments of counsel, the Court granted Summary Judgment in favor of both Captain Forrester and Lieutenant Ramos.
