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 L.H.-P., Senior Parole Officer, Bilingual in Spanish and English, State Parole Board, removal, effective January 28, 2022, on charges, was before Administrative Law Judge Tricia M. Caliguire (ALJ), who rendered her initial decision on May 6, 2024. No exceptions were filed.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the attached ALJ’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Civil Service Commission, at its meeting on June 12, 2024, accepted and adopted the ALJ’s recommendation to grant the appointing authority’s motion for summary decision and modify the removal to a resignation in good standing.
ORDER
The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was not justified. The Commission therefore modifies the removal to a resignation in good standing and dismisses the appeal of L.H.-P.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.

Not an official copy. The decision of record is CSC's PDF. The text above was extracted from it by OCR and may differ in layout or, rarely, in a character.
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.
