298 A.D.2d 755 (N.Y. App. Div. 2002)

Opinion

91756

Decided and Entered: October 24, 2002.

Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed January 4, 2002, which denied claimant's application to reopen a previous decision ruling that he was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because he voluntarily left his employment without good cause.

Michael J. Woodcock, appellant pro se.

Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General, New York City (Dawn A. Foshee of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Carpinello, Lahtinen and, Kane, JJ.


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Claimant appeals from a January 4, 2002 decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board which denied his December 5, 2001 application to reopen and reconsider an October 17, 2001 Board decision finding that he was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because he voluntarily left his employment without good cause. Claimant's attempt to review this appeal on the merits of the October 17, 2001 decision is not properly before this Court since he failed to apply for reopening within 30 days of the Board's decision (see Matter of McIntire [Commissioner of Labor], 284 A.D.2d 703). In any event, we find no reason to disturb the Board's decision inasmuch as claimant alleges no abuse of discretion in the Board denying his application to reopen (see Matter of Brockman [Sweeney], 244 A.D.2d 687, 688).

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Carpinello, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
