Peter C. Harvey, Attorney General, attorney

for respondent Board of Review (Patrick DeAlmeida,

Huntleigh U.S.A.

PER CURIAM

Petitioner appeals from a Final Decision of the Board of Review denying her application for unemployment compensation. After reviewing the record in light of the contentions advanced on appeal, we affirm.

Petitioner in her brief has addressed the merits of her unemployment compensation claim. Petitioner's initial application for unemployment compensation benefits was denied by the deputy, and a hearing was held before the Appeal Tribunal which, in turn, denied her application. Petitioner then filed an appeal with Board of Review. She has appealed to us from the Board's order denying her application.

Within her brief, petitioner has addressed the merits of her unemployment compensation claim. The Board of Review, however, did not address the substantive merits of her claim but denied her appeal because it was untimely under N.J.S.A. 43:21-6(c). Petitioner has not provided any explanation for the untimely filing and thus failed to establish that good cause existed for the late filing. Rivera v. Bd. of Review, N.J. Dep't of Labor, 127 N.J. 578 (1992).

 
The decision of the Board of Review is neither arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable and is thus affirmed. R. 2:11-3(e)(1)(D).

Affirmed.
