Upland Fire Chief Daniel Smith has settled a federal civil rights lawsuit against the borough, former police chief Nelson Ocasio and former council president Ed Mitchell, according to online court records.No details on the settlement were available Tuesday, but the suit filed by attorney Jacqueline Vigilante on behalf of Smith last year claimed Mitchell and Ocasio conspired to create false allegations against him and threatened bogus criminal charges unless he resigned from council in the wake of a dustup over improvements at the fire house. The complaint indicated Smith abstained from a 2013 vote approving expenditures to upgrade the firehouse, though Mitchell voted for the measure despite a potential conflict of interest with his employer and the company hired to do the work.
