The New York Department of Education took Toquir Choudhri to the City’s Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings, which presides over disciplinary cases from almost every city agency. Choudhri, an employee for 14 years, had disobeyed a supervisor’s order to stop surfing on the Internet. Administrative Law Judge John Spooner ruled that the supervisor didn’t have the right to fire the city employee for surfing on the job. The judge recommended dismissing most of the charges.
