BackgroundThe appeal of Selwyn Corley, County Correction Officer, Camden County, Department of Corrections, six working day suspension, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Kathleen M. Calemmo, who rendered her initial decision on April 7, 2020. 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, at its meeting on May 20, 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 suspending the appellant was justified. The Commission therefore affirms that action and dismisses the appeal of Selwyn Corley.

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