The man who filed a lawsuit against CBS claiming he was unjustly fired from the "Dr. Phil" show because of his prostate cancer has just dropped the suit....it appears the case settled.
Martin Barsnack -- who used to work on the "Dr. Phil" show -- claimed in September of '07 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and told his supervisor he was taking a leave of absence to get treated. Martin claimed when he came back in April of '08 -- there was no job available for him.
The suit was dismissed on Jan. 22. A notice of settlement has been filed, but the terms are not disclosed.

He can't sue the Dr, Phil show because when you go on Short Term Disability, your job is only protected under FMLA for 12 weeks
