CASE NO. 4789 CRB-8-04-2

COMPENSATION REVIEW BOARD

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION

MARCH 22, 2004

PAUL BONITO

CLAIMANT-APPELLANT

v.

ESPN/Walt Disney Co.

EMPLOYER

RESPONDENT-APPELLEE

DISMISSAL OF APPEAL

The claimant, acting pro se, has filed a petition for review from the trial commissioner’s February 5, 2004 Finding and Dismissal of claimant’s Sec. 31-290a claim.

Section 31-290a states in pertinent part, “[a]ny party aggrieved by the decision of the commissioner may appeal the decision to the Appellate Court.” This board lacks jurisdiction over claimant’s appeal. Therefore, it must be dismissed. See, Kenyon v. General Dynamics Corp./Electric Boat Division, 4497 CRB-1-02-3 (March 13, 2002); Rondini v. Tectonic Industries, 10 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 210, 1231 CRD-6-91-5 (December 4, 1992).
