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 Joseph DeMarco, Senior Correctional Police Officer, Bayside State Prison, Department of Corrections, removal, effective December 16, 2020, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Susan G. Olgiati (ALJ), who rendered her initial decision on June 5, 2023. No exceptions were filed.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the ALJ’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Civil Service Commission, at its meeting on July 19, 2023, adopted the ALJ’s Findings of Facts and Conclusions and her recommendation to uphold the removal.
ORDER
The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was justified. The Commission therefore upholds that action and dismisses the appeals of Joseph DeMarco.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.

Names appear as the Commission published them in its public minutes and decisions, initials where it used initials. This site does not offer a search by a person's name.
The labels are ours. The kind of matter and the outcome are our reading of the minutes; the ACTION text the Commission recorded is quoted verbatim above. A decision applies the rules to its own facts and is not a prediction for any other matter, and nothing here is legal advice.
