A midshipman who sued the Naval Academy superintendent and former Navy secretary to prevent his expulsion has settled his case.
Details of the settlement between Midshipman First Class Chase Standage, Superintendent Vice Adm. Sean Buck and former Secretary of the Navy Kenneth Braithwaite were not immediately available for the public. Each party will have to bear its own costs, according to the settlement order issued Wednesday by federal Judge Ellen Hollander.
The settlement renders an appeal submitted by Standage’s attorney, Jeffrey McFadden, moot, said Marcia Murphy, public affairs officer for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Baltimore. McFadden did not respond to requests for comment. Assistant U.S. attorney Kelly Marzullo, who defended Buck and Braithwaite, could not be reached for comment.
McFadden could not reveal the details of the settlement but told Standage’s supporters
