ORDER: The opinion of this Court issued on 07/31/2017 is corrected as follows: On page 4, the second full paragraph beginning âStragapede sued the Cityâ and ending âtotal award to $354,070.72â is removed in its entirety and now reads: âStragapede sued the City alleging that he was fired because of his disability in violation of the ADA. A jury returned a verdict for Stragapede and awarded $225,000 in damages. The judge then turned to the issue of equitable remedies, concluding that Stragapede was entitled to $354,070.72 in backpay plus interest from the date he was fired until the time of judgment. The judge did not award front pay. The juryâs damages award and the judgeâs backpay calculation brought the total award to $579,070.72â [6859966-1] [6859966] [16-1344]
