City of Midland v. O'Bryant

After police officers including O'Bryant (plaintiffs) twice sued and voluntarily dismissed ADA claims against the City of Midland (defendant), the city reclassified their positions as civilian roles with reduced pay and benefits, or reassigned them to positions that were more dangerous or aggravated their disabilities. The officers sued again, claiming among other things that the city breached an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing; the trial court granted the city summary judgment, and the court of appeals reversed in part, finding such a duty existed.
