Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Claim of Evelyn Tabakman, Appellant. John E. Sweeney, as Commissioner of Labor, Respondent.
[623 NYS2d 176]

Opinion:
—Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed December 29, 1993, which, upon reconsideration, adhered to its prior decision ruling that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because she voluntarily left her employment without good cause.
The Board reopened its prior decision for the sole purpose of determining if there had been compliance with the procedural safeguards set forth in the consent judgment of Municipal Labor Comm. v Sitkin (79 Civ 5899, 1983 WL 44294). The Board found no substantial procedural violations and, therefore, adhered to its prior decision disqualifying claimant from receiving unemployment insurance benefits. The procedural errors asserted by claimant are unavailing and, hence, the Board's decision should be upheld. Furthermore, there is substantial evidence in the record to support the Board's determination that claimant left her employment without good cause.
Mercure, J. P., Crew III, Casey, Yesawich Jr. and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
