The decision
CSC published this decision as a scanned image. The text below was recognized by OCR, read twice and checked against the meeting minutes, but OCR can misread a word. The official document is the record.
BackgroundThe appeal of Daniel Skrabonja, Senior Correctional Police Officer, Bayside State Prison, Department of Corrections, removal effective February 14, 2017, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Jeffrey R. Wilson, who rendered his initial decision on December 6, 2019. Exceptions were filed on behalf of the appellant and a reply to exceptions was filed on behalf of the appointing authority.
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 January 15, 2020, 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 appeal of Daniel Skrabonja.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
