BackgroundThe appeal of Rhonda Crawley, Recreation Assistant, New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home, Paramus, Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, removal effective November 29, 2018, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Susana E. Guerrero, who rendered her initial decision on November 20, 2020. No exceptions were filed.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the Administrative Law Judge’s initial decisions, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the exceptions filed by the appointing authority to the original initial decision, the Civil Service Commission (Commission), at its meeting of December 16, 2020, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached Administrative Law Judge’s initial decisions.
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 Rhonda Crawley.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
