Legal Opinion
Sullivan v. Superintendent
Massachusetts Appeals Court
Decided February 16, 2018No. 16–P–1650Published
1Opinion of the Court
The defendant superintendent (colonel3 ) of the Department of State Police (department) appeals after a Superior Court judge allowed the motion of the plaintiff, Trooper Lawrence Sullivan, for judgment on the pleadings. Concluding that "no substantial evidence" existed to support an order approved by the colonel that denied Sullivan's application for line-of-duty injury benefits (ILD), the judge decreed that "Sullivan shall be entitled to 424 hours of [ILD] time and not have it deducted as sick time." We affirm, albeit on a different ground. See Gabbidon v. King, 414 Mass. 685, 686 (1993)…
