Rindos v. J.F. Barrett & Sons, 3188 CRB-3-95-8 (February 27, 1997).

The trial commissioner dismissed claimant’s request for benefits due to her failure to appear at a scheduled formal hearing and prosecute her claim. Claimant alleged that she notified her attorney that she could not attend the hearing because she had to report to work the day of the scheduled hearing, claimant’s counsel notified opposing counsel the day before the scheduled hearing and claimant’s counsel requested a continuance at the start of the formal hearing. CRB held it was within the trial commissioner’s discretion to deny the claimant’s request for a continuance.
