Schaffner v. Job Service North Dakota
No. 20160264
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Paul Schaffner appeals a district court’s judgment upholding Job Service’s decision denying him unemployment insurance benefits. Schaffner argues Job Service arbitrarily defined “job abandonment” without statutory guidance, its decision is not supported by the findings of fact, and it did not provide Schaffner with a fair hearing. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(5) & (7). See Esselman v. Job Service North Dakota , 548 N.W.2d 400, 402 (N.D. 1996) (a person voluntarily quits their employment if they abandon their employment without good cause).
