SAMUEL, Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment setting aside a ruling to the Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Commission of the City of Kenner which ruling had reinstated appellant, Officer William Ennis Lawrence, after his employment had been terminated by the chief of the City of Kenner Police Department.
