               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
          The stipulation of facts and the accompanying exhibits are                  
          incorporated herein by this reference.  Petitioner resided in Mt.           
          Rainier, Maryland, at the time the petition in this case was                
          filed.                                                                      
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Petitioner timely filed his 1998 tax return with the                   
          Internal Revenue Service upon which he reported wages of $31,157.           
               In August of 1998, petitioner was employed by Washington               
          Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro), in the District of             
          Columbia.  As a result of an incident at Metro, petitioner was              
          suspended pending investigation.  After concluding its                      
          investigation of the circumstances surrounding the incident,                
          Metro terminated petitioner’s employment.  Petitioner then filed            
          an unemployment compensation claim with the Greenbelt, Maryland,            
          Unemployment Office.  Petitioner was informed that he would be              
          denied his unemployment benefits if, after an investigation, it             
          was determined that he was involved in work-related misconduct at           
          the time of his discharge.  After the initial investigation the             
          District of Columbia, Department of Employment Services (DCDES)1            
          determined that petitioner was not involved in any work-related             


               1Although petitioner filed for unemployment in Maryland, his           
          unemployment compensation was paid pursuant to an interstate                
          claim.  An interstate claim is a claim filed by an individual who           
          lives in another State, but worked in the District of Columbia.             
          The DCDES then processes and makes payments on the claim.
