Metro Nashville is near a settlement with former Nashville General Sessions Court probation director Robert Green, who was fired by Judge Lynda Jones in 2019, the Nashville Post reports. A lawsuit brought by Green in 2020 alleges Jones used news reports about his collaboration with federal immigration authorities as pretext to dismiss him. A Metro analysis found that Jones unilaterally decided to terminate Green without consulting the other judges after he returned from medical leave. Metro Council will consider approving the $25,000 settlement at its meeting tonight.
