Opinion
September 26, 1991
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Claimant, a bus operator, accumulated nine points on his driver's license after committing several traffic infractions. As a result, claimant was disqualified from driving a bus in accordance with Vehicle and Traffic Law § 509-c (1) (d). Because a valid bus driver's license is a requirement of claimant's job, his employer had no choice but to dismiss him. Claimant, therefore, brought about his own discharge and this constituted a voluntary leaving of employment without good cause (see, Matter of Malaspina [Corsi], 309 N.Y. 413, 418; Matter of Johnson [Levine], 50 A.D.2d 1022; Matter of Goldenthal [Levine], 50 A.D.2d 658).
Mahoney, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr. and Mercure, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
