Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Claim of Isidore Berger, Respondent. Philip Ross, as Industrial Commissioner, Appellant.
Argued March 25, 1977;
decided May 3, 1977
Louis J. Lefkowitz, Attorney-General (Irving Jorrisch, Samuel A. Hirshowitz and Murray Sylvester of counsel), for appellant.
Isidore Berger, respondent pro se.

Opinion:
Order reversed, with costs, and the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board reinstated. The board's determination that the employer-employee relationship continued until the claimant exhausted all of his leave credits was rational and should not be disturbed (Matter of Fisher [Levine], 36 NY2d 146, 150, 153).
Concur: Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Jones, Wachtler and Fuchsberg. Judges Gabrielli and Cooke dissent and vote to affirm on the memorandum at the Appellate Division (53 AD2d 730).
