U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 01-3133
Eastern District of Missouri
Civil case - Section 1983. Mayor's disclosure that police chief was
undergoing mental health treatment and Board of Aldermen's subsequent
discussion of the situation did not violate chief's constitutional right
to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment; information disclosed -
that the chief was being treated by a psychologist for stress - and the
circumstances of the disclosure were neither shockingly degrading
nor egregiously humiliating.
