A former firefighter recruit in Lincoln has lost his case against the city.
Anthony Grazziano of Omaha had alleged in a lawsuit that he was fired in retaliation for falling off a ladder during training in March 2008. Grazziano's attorney, Vince Powers, argued that Grazziano had embarrassed the department and that his weekly reviews went from good to bad as a result of the fall.
But assistant city attorney Jocelyn Golden countered that at just over 5-foot-4 and 230 pounds, Grazziano couldn't meet the job's physical requirements.
Lancaster County District Judge Steven Burns agreed, and he dismissed the lawsuit.
Powers says he does not anticipate an appeal.
