    Fire Dep't v. Egan, OATH Index No. 819/97 (Aug. 15, 1997), aff’d sub nom Egan v. Von Essen, 260 A.D.2d 479, 688 N.Y.S.2d 573 (2d Dep’t 1999). Summary : 1.Admissions made by respondent regarding injuries and plan to cover them up with a work related accident related by two co-workers, which were unexplained by respondent, sufficient proof of misconduct. Petitioner presented evidence from two co-workers who were totally credible that respondent told them he had injured himself at a jujitsu class and planed to cover it up as a work-related injury for a better pension. Circumstantial evidence that respondent sustained an injury during a jujitsu injury produced was also produced through another co-worker. Absent any explanation for the admissions made by respondent, the evidence permits a conclusion that respondent injured himself off duty and falsely claimed to have incurred that injury at work. CHARLES D. McFAUL, Administrative Law Judge This disciplinary proceeding was referred to me pursuant to section 15-113 of the Administrative Code and section 75 of the Civil Service Law. Petitioner, the Fire Department, charged that Firefighter Richard Egan, the respondent, filed false reports with the Department and the Fire Department Pension Fund. The charges alleged that respondent falsely claimed to have sustained injuries while at work on May 10, 1993, when in fact he was injured at a jujitsu class while off duty (ALJ Ex. 1). Respondent denied that he was injured at a jujitsu class and maintained that his injuries and resulting disabilities were work related.
