(NECN: Latoyia Edwards, Boston, Mass.) - The former chief medical examiner of Massachusetts says Governor Deval Patrick unfairly fired him last year after his office lost track of a body. Now, he's taking his fight for his job all the way to the state supreme court.

Doctor Mark Flomenbaum wants his job back.

Patrick criticized Flomenbaum's management skills after the medical examiner's office lost track of a body last year.

The body was later found buried in the wrong grave.
