A third former deputy in the office of the Davidson County Circuit Court Clerk is suing the city and court leaders alleging that her dismissal was related to her reluctance to support the campaign of Deputy Clerk Joseph Day in his bid to succeed longtime Clerk Richard Rooker. Christy Anna Allen filed suit against Day, Rooker, Metro Government and two other clerk’s office employees, the Nashville Post reports. She is represented by Paul Forrest Craig, a Memphis attorney who is also representing former deputy clerks Veronica Edmondson and Annecia Donigan. All three allege that court employees were expected to support and work on Day’s campaign to succeed Rooker and that they were fired for not doing so.
