Matter of Robertson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jul 7, 1994
206 A.D.2d 563 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

July 7, 1994

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


As a result of receiving a peer evaluation which he perceived to be negative, claimant resigned his position as an assistant professor at the end of the 1989-1990 academic year. Even if the possibility existed that claimant would be discharged, which was not definite, the testimony and evaluation revealed that this would not occur until at least the end of the 1990-1991 academic year as several steps were necessary before such a decision could be reached. In essence, claimant left his job in anticipation of being discharged, which does not constitute good cause for leaving one's employment. Any remaining contentions raised by claimant have been considered and rejected as lacking in merit.

Mikoll, J.P., Mercure, White, Casey and Yesawich Jr., JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
