Opinion
July 3, 1997
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Claimant was discharged from his position as a camera operator after he refused to comply with his supervisor's instructions to increase his cleaning of the processing machine from three times to five times a week. Substantial evidence supports the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board's decision that claimant's refusal was insubordinate and constituted disqualifying misconduct ( see, Matter of Sweat [Children's Home of Poughkeepsie — Hudacs], 198 A.D.2d 695). Although claimant testified that he was unable to clean the machine as directed due to a medical condition, his claim was unsubstantiated by any supporting medical evidence ( see, Matter of Krinsky [Sweeney], 238 A.D.2d 659).
Mikoll, J. P., Mercure, White, Casey and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
