Submitted September 27, 2010

Before RUIZ and BLACKBURNE-RIGSBY, Associate Judges, and REID,*fn1 Associate Judge, Retired.

Petitioner Galal Badawi seeks review of an Office of Administrative Hearings (“OAH”) order denying his claim for unemployment compensation benefits. An Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) of the OAH affirmed the determination of the Department of Employment Services (“DOES”) concluding that Badawi was ineligible for unemployment compensation benefits because he was fired for gross misconduct. Badawi had been employed by respondent Hawk One Security (“Hawk One”) as an armed Special Police Officer (“SPO”) at a government building located at 609 H Street, N.E., in the District of Columbia, until he was fired based on three reasons arising out of a single incident: (1) violating Hawk One’s firearms policy by removing his firearm while on duty and leaving it in an unsecured desk drawer; (2) inattentiveness to duties; and (3) being out of uniform.
