Paulin v. Department of Sanitation

HOOD, Judge.

Plaintiff, Ernest D. Paulin, appeals from an adverse ruling of the Civil Service Commission of the City of New Orleans. The defendant, Department of Sanitation, City of New Orleans, filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, alleging that the appeal was not taken timely. The case is before us on that motion to dismiss.

The decision of the Civil Service Commission was rendered on June 4, 1979. Plaintiff appealed to this court 39 days later, on July 13,1979. Defendant contends that the appeal was untimely because it was not taken within 30 days after the Commission’s decision became final.
