Opinion
May 27, 1993
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
The employer's executive director testified that on claimant's last day of work he came into her office waiving a tape recorder in her face and demanding that she speak into the tape recorder. She stated that he was "verbally assaultive" and kept screaming at her. Her testimony was corroborated by another witness who overheard the incident. Claimant was discharged for insubordination. Although claimant denied that he had exhibited such behavior, this presented a question of credibility which was for the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board to resolve (see, Matter of Levick [Ross], 53 A.D.2d 950, appeal dismissed 42 N.Y.2d 909, lv denied 42 N.Y.2d 811). On the record before us, there is substantial evidence to support the Board's determination that claimant's actions constituted misconduct and it must therefore be upheld (see, Matter of Valentin [American Museum of Natural History — Roberts], 103 A.D.2d 919; Matter of Brill [Ross], 53 A.D.2d 797).
Weiss, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr., Levine and Mercure, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
