W.C. No. 4-362-519.Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
November 22, 1999.
ORDER OF REMAND.
On June 7, 1999, Administrative Law Judge Stuber (ALJ) entered an order awarding medical benefits. The respondents filed a timely petition to review, and designated a transcript of the hearing as part of the record on appeal. On September 15, 1999, the respondents filed a brief in support of the petition to review in which they challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support the ALJ’s determination that two physicians were authorized to treat the claimant. The ALJ transmitted the file to us on October 4, 1999.
The filed transmitted to us does not contain a transcript of the hearing apparently held on May 6, 1999. Because review of a transcript is necessary to review the respondents’ contention concerning the sufficiency of the evidence, and because the respondents designated a transcript as part of the record, the matter must be remanded for completion of the record.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the matter is remanded to the ALJ for completion of the record by inclusion of a transcript of the hearing on May 6, 1999. When the record is complete, the ALJ may retransmit the matter for our review.
