Ronald Hittle sued the city of Stockton , California , after he was removed from his position as fire chief in 2011 over alleged misconduct.

He filed a lawsuit after the removal arguing that he was fired due to his religion.

Hittle is described as a "devout Christian " in the dissent.

Thomas said the precedent has created "confusion" for some courts.
