CITY OF CORINTH v. COX

No. 89-CA-0173.

565 So.2d 1142 (1990)

CITY OF CORINTH, Mississippi v. Earnest E. COX.

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

August 15, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rebecca C. Phipps, Coleman & Phipps, Corinth, for appellant.

Charles R. Wilbanks, Jr., Jackson, for appellee.

Before HAWKINS, P.J., and PRATHER and ROBERTSON, JJ.

HAWKINS, Presiding Justice, for the Court:

The City of Corinth appeals from a judgment of the circuit court awarding Earnest E. Cox unemployment benefits under the Mississippi Employment Security Act. Because Cox was discharged following a plea of nolo contendere to an indictment for the sale of cocaine, we find this misconduct and that he was not entitled to unemployment benefits. We accordingly reverse and render judgment here for the City of Corinth.
