Opinion

March 24, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Shirley Fingerhood, J.).

The record supports the determination of the Board of Trustees that the petitioner was not disabled. In such matters, the Board of Trustees is entitled to rely upon the medical conclusions of the Medical Board (Matter of Canfora v Board of Trustees of Police Pension Fund, 60 N.Y.2d 347, 351). Here, the Medical Board considered petitioner's condition five times, over a five year period, and each time determined he was not disabled.
