MATTER OF CERASUOLO

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department.
Jun 2, 1994

The Board found that claimant, a probationary correction officer, lost his employment because of his arrest for drunk driving. In so doing the Board determined that, even accepting claimant's allegations that he was an alcoholic, claimant was aware or should have been aware of the fact that his actions at the time were dangerous and unlawful. Under the circumstances, the Board concluded that claimant was guilty of misconduct. Insofar as we find substantial evidence in the record to support the Board's conclusion that claimant lost his employment under disqualifying conditions, its determination must be upheld.

Cardona, P.J., Mikoll, Mercure, Casey and Weiss, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
