Outcome
The PERS Board's denial of duty-related disability benefits was affirmed. The court found that Buckhaults's symptoms were pre-existing manifestations of Meniere's disease, not a direct result of the on-duty slapping incident, and thus she did not qualify for duty-related disability benefits under Mississippi law.
