IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF LESLIE HARRIS, Claimant, v. MIDWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE, Employer, and EMPLOYERS INSURANCE OF WAUSAU, Insurer, Respondents.

W.C. No. 4-219-439Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
September 11, 2001

FINAL ORDER
This matter is before us to consider the claimant’s petition to review an order of Administrative Law Judge Friend (ALJ), dated April 6, 2000. The ALJ’s order imposed various monetary sanctions and penalties against the claimant, and dismissed the claim for compensation.

On September 7, 2001, we received a letter from one of the claimant’s attorneys advising “that this case has settled on a full and final basis.” We interpret this letter as a motion to dismiss the appeal. The request shall be granted.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the claimant’s petition to review the ALJ’s order dated April 6, 2000, is dismissed with prejudice.
