RESPONDENTS-APPELLANTS

ORDER

Respondents have filed a Petition for Review from the trial commissioner’s March 16, 2000 Order pursuant to Sec. 31-288b. In addition, respondents have filed a Motion For Permission To Submit Additional Evidence with this board. The trier’s March 16, 2000 Order was issued as the result of an informal hearing. No transcript or exhibits exist. Absent a record, this board cannot properly consider the appeal under Sec. 31-301. Consequently, this matter is not ripe for appellate review. Therefore, the appeal is remanded to the Fifth District for a formal hearing or other appropriate action. See Lirot v. Mashantucket Pequot Gaming, 3400 CRB-2-96-8 (April 7, 1997); Muldoon v. New England Installation, 3415 CRB-4-96-8 (November 3, 1997); Warchola v. U.S. Gypsum Specialists, 11 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 108, 1444 CRB-1-92-6 (June 2, 1993); Nevers v. Environmental Waste Removal, 10 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 96, 1166 CRD-5-91-1 (April 23, 1992).
