In re the Claim of Gates
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal from a decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, filed December 19, 1991, which ruled that claimant was disqualified from receiving unemployment insurance benefits because she voluntarily left her employment without good cause.

Claimant and her husband had been
Mikoll, J. P., Levine, Crew III, Casey and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
