Court of Appeals of Washington July 2, 2002, No. 26796-9-II (Gossage v. State)

Quinn-Brintnall, A.C.J.

When Henry Gossage, a former state employee, was not hired for various state jobs, he sued claiming the State discriminated against him due to his disability, race, and former convict status. He also alleged that the State did not follow the veterans’ preference act requiring preference for veterans in state hiring. The trial court dismissed all these claims.
