Zavala V. Arizona State Personnel Board

Appellant Sostemo Zavala was terminated as an employee of the Arizona Department of Corrections (DOC) for sexually harassive and unprofessional behavior. The Arizona State Personnel Board upheld his dismissal. From the superior court's summary judgment affirming the decision of the board, Zavala appeals. Because the DOC failed to honor Zavala's due process right to a pre-termination hearing, we reverse.
