C. Harold Ostler v. City Omaha Et Al‪.‬

This is an appeal from an order of the district court for Douglas County sustaining a petition in error and reversing an order
of the personnel board of the city of Omaha and remanding the cause for reconsideration. C. Harold Ostler, hereinafter referred to as plaintiff, prior to March 10, 1964, was chief of police of the city of Omaha.
On that date Chris Gugas, public safety director of the city of Omaha, hereinafter referred to as director, sent the plaintiff
an interoffice communication suspending him for a period of 15 days and demoting him thereafter to the rank of captain. The
order became effective at 4:30 p.m., March 10, 1964. Plaintiff prosecuted an appeal to the personnel board of the city of
Omaha, hereinafter referred to as board. The board by a divided vote affirmed the action of the director, and the plaintiff
filed a petition in error in the district court.
