1Opinion of the Court

TURNAGE, Presiding Judge.

Sergeant Gerald Fortney was suspended for ten days with forfeiture of all pay and allowances from the Kansas City Police force by the Chief of Police. Fortney contested the suspension by filing a petition for a writ of certiorari in the circuit court. The court entered judgment making the writ permanent and set aside the suspension.

Reversed and remanded.
