IN RE FRISBY, W.C. No. 4-401-701 (05/14/01)


IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF RICHARD G. FRISBY, Claimant, v. ANHEUSER BUSCH COMPANIES INC., Employer, and PACIFIC EMPLOYERS INSURANCE, Insurer, Respondents.

W.C. No. 4-401-701Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
May 14, 2001

ORDER OF REMAND
The claimant seeks review of an order of Administrative Law Judge Jones dated February 20, 2001, which denied permanent disability benefits. We remand the matter for completion of the record.

Relying on the testimony of Dr. Belleville, and surveillance videos which were admitted into evidence as Respondents’ Exhibit N, (Tr. December 17, 1999, p. 22), the ALJ found the Division-sponsored independent medical examiner’s (DIME) permanent impairment rating was overcome by “clear and convincing” evidence. The claimant timely appealed.

On review, the claimant contends, inter alia, that there is insufficient evidence to support the ALJ’s finding that the DIME physician’s rating was overcome. To properly evaluate the claimant’s argument, we must review the surveillance videos. However, the record transmitted on appeal does not contain the surveillance videos. Therefore, we remand the matter for completion of the record to include the surveillance videos. When the record has been completed, the matter shall be retransmitted to us for review of the ALJ’s order.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the matter is remanded to the Division of Administrative Hearings for completion of the record consistent with this order.
