seattle violinist’s lawsuit dismissed

Thanks to James Bash who spotted this first.

A personal injury suit brought by violinist Peter Kaman against the Seattle Symphony was dismissed Friday in King County Superior Court. Kaman is a member of the Symphony’s first violin section.

Immediately after Judge Catherine Shaffer granted the symphony’s motion for summary judgment, Kaman’s lawyer, Brenda Little, said that she would appeal the decision. “We still believe in all of our discrimination claims. We are in this for the long haul.”

A violinist with the symphony for more than 25 years, Kaman also lost in court last month when Shaffer granted the orchestra’s request for summary judgment on another issue in the suit.
