Opinion
October 25, 1990
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Although claimant argued that he could not attend the three-day instructional seminar as directed by the employer, he did not offer a satisfactory explanation for such failure. Furthermore, while he claimed that he was told he did not have to attend, this was a question of credibility within the sole province of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board (see, Matter of Nunes [Roberts], 98 A.D.2d 934). Under the circumstances, the conclusion that claimant's failure to attend the seminar constituted misconduct must be upheld (see, Matter of Markovic [Levine], 50 A.D.2d 1031).
Decision affirmed, without costs. Kane, J.P., Weiss, Mikoll, Yesawich, Jr., and Harvey, JJ., concur.
