W.C. No. 4-149-631Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
January 18, 1996
ORDER
This matter is before us pursuant to the opinion of the Court of Appeals dated November 24, 1995. The court’s mandate was issued on December 11, 1995.
In its opinion, the court directed that the matter be remanded for findings concerning “whether claimant’s work-related injury contributed in part to his post-termination wage loss.” See PDM Molding, Inc. v. Standberg, 898 P.2d 542 (Colo. 1995). The court also stated that, although there was some evidence presented concerning this issue, the record may need “further development” as to the cause of the claimant’s post-separation wage loss. We understand the court’s statement as authority for the ALJ, in the exercise of discretion, to hold an additional hearing to receive evidence on the post-separation wage loss issue.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the matter is remanded to the ALJ for further proceedings and entry of an order in accordance with the opinion of the Court of Appeals.
