Circuit Court Grievant appealed to Kanawha County 11/30/2017, Civil Action #17-AA-94 (Webster)
Supreme Court
Synopsis Grievant was a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry of West Virginia University’s School of Medicine. Grievant disagrees with the good rating provided by the Chair of his department in the areas of teaching and service. Subsequently, Grievant filed numerous grievances disputing the actions of his Department Chair. After filing his grievance, Dr. Riedel retired. Respondent asserts the grievance is now moot because Grievant retired and failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Respondent proved Grievant’s claims are either moot due to his retirement or request relief that is unavailable from the Grievance Board. Accordingly, the grievance is dismissed.
