Becky Elliott v. James G. Neeley

This is an unemployment compensation case. The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development ("the Department") denied the claim of Becky Elliott for unemployment benefits, finding that the plaintiff quit her job without good cause connected to her employment. After exhausting her administrative remedies to no avail, the plaintiff sued James G. Neeley, the Commissioner of the Department, seeking judicial review in the trial court, which court affirmed the Department's denial of benefits. The plaintiff appeals, essentially arguing that the Department's decision is not supported by substantial and material evidence. We affirm.
