Court of Appeals of North Carolina August 1, 1995, 9410SC176 (Mendenhall v. North Carolina Department of Human Resources)

COZORT, Judge.

Petitioner is a blind social worker who was terminated by the State Department of Human Resources in 1989 allegedly for insubordination. Petitioner refused a directive to provide hands-on training with sharp objects to a blind AIDS patient. The superior court ordered reinstatement of petitioner, holding there was insufficient evidence of insubordination. We affirm.
