In the Matter of Stephen L. DENTON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION OF The STATE OF ILLINOIS, Bruce J. Finne, Executive Secretary, J.J. Moffat, Commissioner of the Civil Service Commission, William G. Stratton, Commissioner of the Civil Service Commission, Harry Conlon, Commissioner of the Civil Service Commission, Illinois State Police, Terrance W. Gainer, Director, Department of Central Management Services of the State of Illinois and Stephen B. Schnorf, Director, Defendants-Appellees.

Appellate Court of Illinois, Fourth District.

Decided February 8, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mary Lee Leahy, Leahy Law Offices, Springfield, Cheryl Redfield Jansen, Leahy Law Offices, Springfield, for Stephen L. Denton.

James E. Ryan, Attorney General, Chicago, Barbara A. Preiner, Solicitor General, Chicago, Jan E. Hughes, Assistant Attorney General, Chicago, for Civil Service Commission.

Justice KNECHT delivered the opinion of the court:

Plaintiff, a veteran, appeals the circuit court decision to affirm the Civil Service Commission (Commission). The sole issue raised on appeal is whether section 8b.7(f) of the Personnel Code (Code) (20 ILCS 415/8b.7(f) (West 1992)) gives veterans an absolute preference over nonveterans of the same job grade. We find the statute does grant veterans an absolute preference, and reverse.
