Matter of Koushakjian

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Feb 11, 1993
190 A.D.2d 938 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

February 11, 1993

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


The evidence in the record supports the conclusion that claimant quit his part-time employment as a recording studio monitor because he could not handle working that job as well as another job he held. Contrary to claimant's contention, his supervisor testified that claimant never requested a leave of absence. He also stated that work was still available for claimant had he not quit. Although claimant contends that he was discharged, this merely presented a question of credibility which was within the province of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board to resolve (see, Matter of Baker [Hartnett], 147 A.D.2d 790, appeal dismissed 74 N.Y.2d 714; Matter of Weber [Catherwood], 32 A.D.2d 697). The determination that claimant voluntarily left his employment without good cause is therefore supported by substantial evidence and must be upheld (see, Matter of Steed [Roberts], 115 A.D.2d 166, 167; Matter of Sillan [French Tel. Cable Co. — Levine], 53 A.D.2d 719).

Weiss, P.J., Levine, Mercure, Mahoney and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
