Opinion
September 26, 1991
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
The Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board's only reason for reopening claimant's case was to decide whether there had been compliance with the procedural safeguards set forth in the consent judgment of Municipal Labor Comm. v. Sitkin (79 Civ 5899). Upon determining that there were no substantial procedural violations, it adhered to its prior decision which found claimant ineligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits. Insofar as claimant fails to allege any procedural errors, the Board's decision must be upheld. In any event, there is substantial evidence in the record to support the Board's conclusion that claimant's search for employment was hampered by her not having found a reliable babysitter and that she was therefore not available for employment (see, Matter of Goodman [Catherwood], 33 A.D.2d 855).
Mahoney, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr. and Mercure, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
