Also decided on this docket: La. Ct. App. 1st Cir., November 21, 1966 194 So. 2d 445; La., March 15, 1867 70 La. Ann. 91
Shoucair v. Department of Police, 314 So. 2d 751 (La. Ct. App. 1st Cir. 1975).
The holding in the court’s own words
We conclude the commission had sufficient evidence to support its conclusions that appellant’s suspension by letter of January 20, 1974 was justified by his forgetting his duties and deeming it trivial that he had done so, and that his dismissal by letter of February 11, 1974 was justified by the combination of those same items, together with his insubordination, disrespect and arrogance towards his superior officers (upon the hearing on the suspension), as foreboding worse attitudes towards the public on the street.

Opinion text
REDMANN, Judge. A New Orleans police officer appeals from the affirmation by the City Civil Service Commission of his suspension and dismissal by the superintendent of police. We conclude the commission had sufficient evidence to support its conclusions that appellant’s suspension by letter of January 20, 1974 was justified by his forgetting his duties and deeming it trivial that he had done so, and that his dismissal by letter of February 11, 1974 was justified by the combination of those same items, together with his insubordination, disrespect and arrogance towards his superior officers (upon the hearing on the suspension), as foreboding worse attitudes towards the public on the street. Affirmed.
