Opinion

No. 11678.

December 28, 1977. Rehearing Denied February 13, 1978. Writ Granted March 27, 1978.

APPEAL FROM ORDER OF THE LOUISIANA CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION, DATED JUNE 13, 1977, THE HONORABLE HARRY A. JOHNSON, JR., CHAIRMAN; WATSON S. FINISTER, JR., MERRILL P. FISCHER, HENRY R. RAUBER, JAMES A. SMITH AND CARROLL D. VAN GEFFEN, MEMBERS.

Robert Glass, Martzell Montero, New Orleans, for appellants.

H. M. Westholz, Jr., Dept. of Health and Human Resources, New Orleans, for appellee.

Before BLANCHE, COVINGTON and CHIASSON, JJ.

BLANCHE, Judge.

This case involving the six appellants grew out of their separation from service from the Louisiana Health and Human Resources Administration, Division of Family Services, who is the appointing authority and the appellee herein.

The law and the facts in the instant case are indistinguishable from those presented in Roussell v. Louisiana Health and Human Resources Administration, Division of Family Services, New Orleans, Louisiana, 354 So.2d 661 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1977), a decision which this Court is handing down today. We adopt the Roussell opinion in the instant case.

Accordingly, the decision of the Louisiana Civil Service Commission is affirmed herein, and all costs are to be paid by appellants.

AFFIRMED.
