NEW YORK UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - HEARINGS AND APPEALS - VULGAR LANGUAGE - CASE NO. 5

The first issue addressed at the hearing was the claimant's application to reopen the default decision of April 12, 2011. The ALJ introduced Exhibit 1 - the original notice of hearing for April 12, Exhibit 2 - the decision of April 12, and Exhibit 3 - my application to reopen. It was established that the claimant did receive the notice of hearing for April 12, the claimant attended the April 12 hearing, the claimant advised the ALJ that the claimant was not ready to proceed because the claimant wanted counsel, the claimant obtained counsel immediately, and that an application to reopen was made by myself, as claimant's counsel, the next day.
