Matter of Martin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Apr 4, 1996
226 A.D.2d 800 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

April 4, 1996

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


Claimant, a secretary, was terminated from her employment after she yelled at a co-worker during an argument. The Board denied her application for unemployment insurance benefits, finding that she was terminated for misconduct. We find that the Board's decision is supported by substantial evidence. Claimant received three prior warnings regarding her disruptive behavior, but continued to engage in such behavior during the incident in question. She became loud and disruptive despite her supervisor's attempt to calm her. Consequently, we find no reason to disturb the Board's decision.

Cardona, P.J., Mikoll, Mercure, Casey and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
