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 Feliciano, Equipment Operator, Hudson County, Department of Roads and Public Property, 20 working days suspension on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Julio C. Morejon (ALJ), who rendered his initial decision on August 2, 2022. 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 ALJ’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, including a thorough review of the exceptions and reply, the Civil Service Commission, at its meeting of August 24, 2022, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached ALJ’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 Daniel Feliciano.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
