A judge is considering whether to grant a new trial to the first openly gay Los Angeles police officer.
Former Sgt. Mitchell Grobeson wants a rehearing of a discrimination suit that sought up to $4.4 million in damages. A jury ruled for the city last year.
A Superior Court judge on Tuesday took under submission Grobeson's motions for a new trial and reinstatement to the LAPD.
Grobeson did two stints with the LAPD in the 1980s and 1990s before retiring on a psychological disability.
The LAPD settled a previous suit by Grobeson in 1993 by promising to improve its hiring and training of gay officers.
