Jones v. New Orleans Fire

2 Citing cases

  1. Beba v. Department of Fire

    933 So. 2d 871 (La. Ct. App. 2006)   Cited 5 times

    Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the Civil Service Commission. The Fire Department relied upon the case of Jones v. New Orleans Fire Department, 2000-1047 (La.App. 4 Cir. 3/14/01), 785 So.2d 866, in support of its argument that Beba's actions impaired the efficient operation of the fire department. However, the Jones case is distinguishable as the firefighter in Jones committed a criminal offense.

  2. Wartenburg v. Board

    879 So. 2d 853 (La. Ct. App. 2004)   Cited 1 times

    Specifically, Wartenburg describes the case of a pilot who was suspended for one year after testing positive for cocaine. In our review of the decision to revoke Wartenburg's commission, we are guided by Jones v. New Orleans Fire Dept.: 2000-1047 (La.App. 4 Cir. 3/14/01), 785 So.2d 866. A reviewing court must decide whether the appointing authority had good or lawful cause for taking the disciplinary action and whether the punishment imposed is commensurate with the offense.
