Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit.

March 7, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Cynthia Batiste, J. Jerome Burden, Louisiana Department of Labor, for Appellants.

Nanci Summersgill, City Attorney, La Koshia R. Roberts, Assistant City Attorney, for Appellee.

Before BROWN, WILLIAMS, and SEXTON (Pro Tempore), JJ.


BROWN, Chief Judge.

The issue in this case is whether incarceration for criminal charges later dismissed serves to disqualify a discharged employee from collecting unemployment compensation benefits. Specifically, whether under these circumstances, the employee's discharge, which occurred while he was in jail and was based upon violation of the employer's attendance policy, was for misconduct connected with his employment.
