On June 2, 2016, the City was served with a Petition for Writ of Certiorari filed by John W. Stanton.  Mr. Stanton was the Assistant General Manager for Energy Supply at Gainesville Regional Utilities from June 2008 until he was terminated in February 2016.  He requests the Court to quash his termination of employment on the grounds that he was not afforded procedural due process and there was not competent substantial evidence to support the termination.
