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 Stanley Principe, Firefighter, Jersey City, Fire Department, removal and resignation not in good standing, effective January 5, 2023, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Leslie Z. Celentano (ALJ), who rendered her initial decision on June 29, 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 August 2, 2023, accepted the recommendation as contained in the attached ALuJ’s initial decision.

ORDER

The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing and resigning the appellant not in good standing was justified. The Commission therefore upholds those actions and dismisses the appeals of Stanley Principe.

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