Opinion
March 9, 1999
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Louis York, J.).
Respondent Board of Trustees reasonably found the contemporaneous injury and medical reports generated in connection with petitioner's fall to be more reliable than petitioner's subsequently rendered and not entirely consistent accounts of the circumstances attending his injury, and its determination, based upon the duly credited records, that petitioner was not entitled to accident disability benefits was not arbitrary and capricious ( see, Matter of Danyi v. Board of Trustees of N.Y. City Employees' Retirement Sys., 176 A.D.2d 451; Matter of Hallihan v. Ward, 169 A.D.2d 542).
