A judge has postponed former federal prosecutor Kateri “Kat” Dahl’s wrongful termination lawsuit against Johnson City from mid-May to late October so she can have more time to rule on a dismissal motion. Dahl’s June 2022 federal civil lawsuit claims Johnson City violated the Tennessee Public Protection Act (TPPA) by allegedly firing her in retaliation for insisting the Johnson City Police Department (JCPD) investigate sexual assault allegations against Sean Williams.
