OPINION
2Per curiam
Evelyn Esposito, respondent, was employed as a cocktail waitress by the Fremont Hotel and Casino (Fremont) in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 17, 1977. On August 2, 1985, she was terminated for alleged “misconduct,” i.e. refusing to consent to an immediate drug and alcohol examination.
Ms. Esposito applied for unemployment benefits, and the Nevada Employment Security Department representative, finding no misconduct on her part, concluded that she was eligible. Fremont appealed that determination, and after an evidentiary hearing the appeals referee affirmed the decision of the department.
