W.C. No. 4-515-501Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
June 14, 2002.
FINAL ORDER
Both the claimant and the respondents filed petitions to review an order of Administrative Law Judge Stuber (ALJ) dated January 15, 2002. The matter was transmitted to us for review on May 21, 2002.
On June 12, 2002, we received a letter, by way of facsimile transmission, from counsel for the claimant. The letter requests withdrawal of the petitions to review filed by the claimant and respondents because the case has been settled. The letter attached an order of the ALJ, dated June 12, 2002, approving a settlement and ordering payment be made in accordance therewith.
Although neither the letter nor the ALJ’s order specifically states the settlement was on a full and final basis, we believe such a representation is inherent in counsel’s letter. Because the case has apparently been settled on a full and final basis, the petitions to review are moot and should be dismissed. If our assumption concerning the status of this case is incorrect, either party may, in a timely manner, draw that fact to our attention and the petitions to review may be reinstated.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the claimant’s and respondents’ petitions to review the ALJ’s order dated January 15, 2002, are dismissed with prejudice.
