Outcome
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Employment Appeal Board's decision upholding the denial of unemployment benefits. The court found that the employee's loss of driving privileges due to an OWI conviction constituted job-related misconduct sufficient to disqualify him from unemployment benefits, as a valid driver's license was essential to his job as a service technician.
