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 Shanaya Henderson, Senior Correctional Police Officer, Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, Department of Corrections, removal, effective April 20, 2022, on charges, was before Administrative Law Judge Edward J. Delanoy, Jr. (ALJ), who rendered his initial decision on September 11, 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 of October 11, 2023, accepted the recommendation to grant the appointing authority’s motion to for summary decision and uphold the removal as contained in the attached ALJ’s initial decision.
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 appeal of Shanaya Henderson.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.

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.
