DECISION
NEUW ALD, Chair: 	This case is before the Public Employment Relations Board
(Board) on appeal by Edward Woolfolk (Woolfolk) of a Board agent's dismissal of his unfair
practice charge. 	The charge alleged that the American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees, Local 3299 (AFSCME) violated the Higher Education Employer-
Employee Relations Act (HEERA) 1 by providing him with inadequate representation during
disciplinary proceedings. Woolfolk alleged that this conduct constituted a violation of HEERA
section 3571.l(e).
By letter dated May 18, 2008, Woolfolk withdrew his appeal and the underlying unfair
practice charge.
1HEERA is codified at Government Code section 3560 et seq.

Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Board finds the withdrawal to be in the
best interests of the parties and to be consistent with the purposes of HEERA. Accordingly,
the Board grants the withdrawal.
ORDER
The request by Edward Woolfolk to withdraw the unfair practice charge and appeal in
Case No. LA-C0-486-H is hereby GRANTED.
Members Rystrom and Dowdin Calvillo joined in this Decision.
