On January 30, 1996, U.S. District Judge Tom S. Lee, in Jackson, Mississippi, dismissed with prejudice a suit by a police officer's widow who said her husband died of a brain tumor developed as a result of years of operating a vehicle-mounted traffic radar device. The judge ordered the plaintiff and defendant to bear their own costs.

In her suit, plaintiff Hilda Wheeler, representative of the estate of Billy F. Wheeler, alleged that her husband's 1992 brain tumor death stemmed from his use of a Kustom Signals model MR-7 radar unit from 1967 until approximately 1980. Plaintiff's attorney moved to voluntarily dismiss without prejudice the action on December 4, 1995, because of insufficient scientific knowledge on the relation between radar devices and cancer.

Plaintiff is represented by attorney Larry Spencer of the Jackson, Mississippi firm of King & Spencer. Kustom is represented by attorney Tom Tardy of the Jackson firm of Forman, Perry, Watkins & Krutz and by Mark Oium of O'Connor, Cohn, Dillon & Barr in San Francisco.
