Letson v. Gadsden Civil Service Board

WRIGHT, Presiding Judge.

The Gadsden Civil Service Board made promotions within the Fire Department of the City of Gadsden on May 17, 1976. Among such promotions was one from Lieutenant to Captain. Plaintiff Letson was prior to May 17, 1976, a Lieutenant in said department. He was not promoted to Captain on May 17, 1976. Letson brought this action in the Circuit Court of Etowah County, asking that the promotions be set aside as void because the rules of the Civil Service Board under which the promotions were made were contrary to law.
