Wagstaff v. Department of Employment Security

Wagstaff (plaintiff), a hydraulic mechanic, admitted using cocaine once but denied further use; coworkers implicated him in additional drug use, and he was terminated based on his admission and their statements. His unemployment-benefits claim was denied for termination with just cause after the Air Force submitted a report of coworker statements, without producing the coworkers to testify.

Whether findings of fact in an administrative proceeding can be based exclusively on hearsay evidence.
