BackgroundThe appeals of Connor Rush, Sheriff's Officer, Morris County, Sheriff's Office, release at the end of the working test period and removal effective January 3, 2017, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Julio C. Morejon, who rendered his initial decision on February 19, 2019. No exceptions were filed.

AnalysisHaving considered the record and the Administrative Law Judge’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Civil Service Commission (Commission), at its meeting of March 27, 2019, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached Administrative Law Judge’s initial decision.

ORDER

The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was justified. The Commission therefore affirms that action and dismisses the appeals of Connor Rush.

ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
