IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF WILLIAM C. WRIGHT, Claimant, v. INTEGRITY BUSINESS SERVICES, INC. and/or RED OAK CARPET CENTER, Employer, and NON-INSURED and/or ALLIED MUTUAL INSURANCE CO., Insurer, Respondents.

W.C. No. 4-261-540Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
December 22, 1998

FINAL ORDER

This matter is before us pursuant to the opinion of the Court of Appeals dated November 13, 1998. The court issued its mandate on December 1, 1998.

The court affirmed our order of October 22, 1997, insofar as we held that Administrative Law Judge Wheelock (ALJ) correctly determined that the claimant was an employee of Integrity Business Services, Inc. However, the court set aside our order with respect to the claimant’s average weekly wage. The court ordered that the matter be remanded to the ALJ “for a recalculation of the temporary total disability award based upon an actual average weekly wage of $750.”

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the matter is remanded to the ALJ for further proceedings consistent with the opinion of the Court of Appeals.
