A federal judge has dismissed a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former Woodstock police officer who alleged he was fired because he had Parkinson’s disease.
On September 23, northern district court judge Lawrence Kahn dismissed former officer Anthony Schleuderer’s federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claims against town supervisor Bill McKenna and police chief Clayton Keefe.
Kahn ruled, Schleuderer had no ADA claim against the town, and dismissed a federal claim he had been discriminated against based on his disability.
Since the federal claims were dismissed, Kahn also dismissed state-level claims.
The town, McKenna and Keefe had moved the case to federal court in February 2025.
