ORDER
The sole issue in this appeal is whether the board of review acted unreasonably, arbitrarily or in abuse of its discretion, or as stated in P.B. Sec. 22-9(a) "whether there was any evidence to support in law the conclusions reached," in determining that the plaintiff failed to show good cause for the untimely filing of his appeal from the decision of the administrator denying his claim for unemployment compensation benefits.
The court has reviewed the record and finds no abuse of discretion. It has long been held not only in administrative appeals but in judicial appeals as well that preoccupation with other matters does not constitute good cause for failure to timely file an appeal. See, Nicole v. State, 38 Conn.App. 333 (1995); Ramos v. Commissioner of Correction, 248 Conn. 52 (1999).
The appeal is dismissed.
