Metropolitan Dade County v. Corozzo

The appellee, Marie Corozzo, had been dismissed by her department head from her county job for violating personnel rules. She appealed to the Personnel Advisory Board, which found her not guilty of any violation and unanimously recommended her reinstatement. The County Manager disregarded the findings and recommendations of the Board and sustained her dismissal. The appellee then petitioned the circuit court for a writ of certiorari. The court granted the writ and quashed the County Manager’s order of dismissal. The County appeals from the circuit court judgment.
