Westergard v. Barnes

*831OPINION

This is an appeal from a judgment of the district court holding that the Highway Patrol Division of the Department of Motor Vehicles and Public Safety (Department) failed to follow proper statutory procedures for promotion and reinstatement and that the department breached its covenant of good faith and fair dealing with Trooper Gerald Barnes. Because the Employee-Management Committee (EMC) did not adequately address the issues and because both the EMC and the district court rendered findings of fact and conclusions of law based upon erroneous law, we reverse and remand.
