SECOND INJURY FUND

RESPONDENT-APPELLANT

ORDER

Respondent Second Injury Fund has filed an appeal from the trial commissioner’s March 7, 2006 Order as the result of a pre-formal hearing. No record exists. Absent a hearing on the record, this board cannot properly consider an appeal under Sec. 31-301. The matter is therefore remanded to the trial commissioner acting for the Eighth District for a Formal Hearing or other appropriate action. See Merenski v. Greenwich Hospital Association, 4822 CRB-7-04-6 (January 12, 2005); Conerly v. IBM, 4567 CRB-7-02-9 (November 7, 2002).
