Petitioners testified that petitioner suffered physical
injuries while working for the Army. Mr. Soloman testified that
he had no knowledge of petitioner’s sustaining any medical,
physical, or mental injuries, nor did petitioner present him with
evidence of medical expenses. Furthermore, none of the eight EEO
complaints contained in the record alleges that petitioner
incurred any type of physical injury or sickness as a result of
the alleged discriminatory conduct. Petitioner also testified
that he had taken the initial steps to file a lawsuit against
Colonel Franco for slander; however, the record contains no
documentary evidence of this claim. Mr. Soloman was not aware of
any claim by petitioner that Colonel Franco had committed
slander.
Petitioners have not established that any portion of the
$11,000 received pursuant to petitioner's settlement agreement
with the Army is excludable from gross income. Therefore,
respondent is sustained on this issue.
We have considered all arguments by the parties, and, to the
extent not discussed above, find them to be irrelevant or without
merit.
To reflect the foregoing,
Decision will be entered
for respondent.
