W.C. No. 4-170-521Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
March 3, 1998
ORDER
This matter is before us pursuant to a letter which the attorney for the claimant sent to an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Colorado. The letter concerns our Final Order dated October 15, 1997. A copy of the letter, dated February 13, 1998, is attached to this order and incorporated herein. The office of the Attorney General forwarded the letter to us on February 20, 1998. Significantly, we did not request representation by the Attorney General in the appeal currently pending before the Court of Appeals.
As may be seen, counsel’s letter expresses the opinion that “the Panel really missed the point in its ruling in this case.” Consequently, counsel requested the Assistant Attorney General to discuss the case with us and determine whether we “would wish to reverse [our] own position on appeal.”
Insofar as the letter may be interpreted as a request to issue a corrected order pursuant to § 8-43-302(1), C.R.S. 1997, thirty days has elapsed since the date of our Final Order. Consequently, we lack jurisdiction to enter a corrected order. Insofar as the letter may be interpreted as a request that we file a pleading with the Court of Appeals expressing disagreement with the views contained in our Final Order, we are not persuaded to do so.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that no action will be taken with respect to the letter dated February 13, 1998.
