McCormack v. CIVIL SERVICE COM'N, ETC.

Court of Appeals of Iowa

1Opinion of the Court

CARTER, Judge.

Plaintiff-appellant-police officer appeals from a decision by the district court affirming the decision of the civil service commission upholding his discharge. He argues that the commission’s decision was not supported by substantial evidence, his removal was arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion, previous incidents for which he had been disciplined were improperly used to prove current misconduct, and incidents other than ones of which the officer had notice were considered by the trial court to find misconduct. We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
