IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF MARTIN L. MARTINEZ, Claimant, v. MEADOW GOLD DAIRY PRODUCTS, Employer, and ESIS, INC., Insurer, Respondents.

W.C. No. 3-105-407Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
July 5, 1996

ORDER

The respondents have filed a “Motion for Reconsideration” of an order we entered in this matter on June 13, 1996. Inasmuch as we have no statutory authority to “reconsider” our decision, we construe the respondents’ Motion as a request for a “corrected order” under §8-43-302(a)(2), C.R.S. (1995 Cum. Supp.). We deny the request.

Our order affirmed an order of Administrative Law Judge Martinez (ALJ) which denied the respondents’ request for an offset in accordance wit Donald B. Murphy Contractors, Inc., v. Industrial Claim Appeals Office,
__ P.2d __ (Colo.App. No. 94CA1597, September 21, 1995), cert. denied April 29, 1996. We determined that, in the absence of an order reopening the claim, the ALJ did not err in denying the offset. We also concluded that it was premature to consider the respondents’ remaining contentions concerning the application of Murphy.

The respondents’ contend that we should have resolved their remaining arguments concerning the application of Murphy. However, our conclusion to the contrary was not due to mistake or inadvertence. Therefore, we decline the respondents’ request for a “corrected order.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the respondents’ Motion for Reconsideration is denied.
