EMPLOYER

SELF-INSURED

RESPONDENT-APPELLANT

ORDER

The Respondent State of Connecticut has filed a Petition for Review from the trial commissioner’s June 12, 2000 order pursuant to Section 31-300 imposing a monetary sanction for undue delay and attorney’s fees. Absent a record of the proceedings below, this board cannot properly consider the appeal under Section 31-301. Consequently, this matter is not ripe for appellate review.

Therefore, the appeal is remanded to the First District for a formal hearing or other appropriate action. See, Quinn v. Dwan Co., Inc., 4216 CRB-5-00-3 (May 24, 2000); Rizor v. International Ice Cream Corp., 4206 CRB-1-00-3 (May 24, 2000); Lirot v. Mashantucket Pequot Gaming, 3400 CRB-2-96-8 (April 7, 1997); Muldoon v.
