Alger v. City of Missoula, 2002-SDW-1 (ALJ Feb. 25, 2002)
U.S. Department of Labor | Office of Administrative Law Judges 800 K Street, NW, Suite 400-N Washington, DC 20001-8002 | ![]() |
Issue date: 25Feb2002
Case No.: 2002-SDW-1
----------------------------------------
In The Matter Of:
HOWARD ALGER,
Complainant
v.
CITY OF MISSOULA,
Respondent.
-----------------------------------------
This case arises under the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. §300j-9(i), and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. §1367.
On February 20, 2002, the parties filed a No Fault Stipulation and Settlement Agreement signed by the Complainant, his counsel, and counsel for the Respondent; a Motion to Withdraw and Dismiss Complaint signed by Complainant and his counsel; a Contested Case Settlement and Release signed by the Complainant; and a letter of resignation from employment signed by the Complainant. Upon review, I find that the settlement is fair, adequate and reasonable, and that the Complainant's motion should be granted.
Accordingly, I recommend that the Secretary of Labor approve the settlement and that the claim of Howard Alger against the City of Missoula be dismissed with prejudice.
