The Supreme Court agreed on Dec. 15 to review an appeal by a former Texas state trooper who claims that his former employer discriminated against him after he suffered injuries during his deployment in the Iraq War as a member of the U.S. Army Reserves.

The man filed suit against his former employer in Texas state court in 2017, seeking more than $5 million.
