LOUISVILLE: COA upholds million dollar retaliation and discrimination claim against Louisville and Ron Bishop

By Michael Stevens

Appeals court upholds ruling against Bishop

FRANKFORT ? A three judge panel of the state Court of Appeals on Friday upheld a nearly $1 million retaliation and discrimination claim against the city of Louisville and Ron Bishop, who now heads the Fayette County jail. Bishop was director of the Jefferson County Metro Corrections in 1998, when Kelvin Brooks and Donna Martin filed a lawsuit against him and the city. Martin was the long-time human resources manager at the jail and was involved in the discipline of several officers who were accused of sexual harassment. Martin and Bishop disagreed on how those officers should be treated. Martin alleges that once she expressed concerns about the way the cases were handled, she was subjected to verbal abuse and other forms of harassment.
