The train-sleeper prevailsNews

Not so long ago I brought you the story of Gaurav Bhatia, a graduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology, who fell asleep on a Chicago Transit Authority train and was given a ticket for sleeping dangerously. Seems that our hero has beaten the odds and gotten the ticket overturned. From the Washington Times:

Bhatia was interviewed by a number of local television and radio stations, and his story appeared in newspapers from Chicago to Europe and Asia.

“At this time, the city makes a motion to nonsuit this matter,” Senior Counsel James McIsaac of the city’s Law Department told the administrative hearing officer. The hearing itself lasted less than 45 seconds.

THE SLEEPERS—UNITED—SHALL NEVER BE DEFEATED!
