CHICAGO - Jeffrey Marthon, 54, will receive $310,000 from his condominium association for trying to evict him because he has Tourette´s Syndrome. Marthon´s symptoms include involuntary foot-stomping and yelling which has kept his neighbors up numerous nights. Marthon filed a discrimination suit in federal court last year against the condominium association after the group sought to stop him from disturbing the neighbors or move from his condo, where he and his wife had lived since 1986. A federal judge dismissed Marthon´s case on Thursday after the two sides reached agreement.
