Opinion
November 17, 1967
Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board which disqualified claimant, a nurse's aide, from benefits, on the ground that she voluntarily left her employment without good cause. The board found upon substantial evidence that after obtaining a leave of absence for two weeks, allegedly for medical reasons, claimant neither called in to obtain an extension nor did she then or upon the subsequent hearings produce a medical certificate to justify either the original leave of absence or her subsequent absence, as the employer had requested her to do; that she never responded to any of the employer's repeated telephone calls; and that she failed to comply with the reasonable request that she produce at the adjourned hearing a copy of her income tax return to counter reports from her son and co-workers that she was working elsewhere. The decision was warranted. ( Matter of Oscodar [ Catherwood], 25 A.D.2d 913; Matter of Ruggirello [ Catherwood], 25 A.D.2d 597.) Decision affirmed, without costs. Gibson, P.J., Herlihy, Reynolds, Aulisi and Staley, Jr., JJ., concur in memorandum Per Curiam.
