Court upholds police dismissal for Memorial Day parade refusal
The Ninth District Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of Lorain Patrolman Luis Longoria Jr. for refusing to participate in the Lorain Memorial Day parade in 1961 citing religious objections and a toe infection as factors. The court described the police department as semi military and found the marching order not arbitrary. The ruling also reversed a judge on a utilities penalties case and affirmed a foreclosure judgment involving First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Lakewood.
