INSURER

RESPONDENTS-APPELLEES

ORDER

Claimant has filed a Petition for Review from the trial commissioner’s November 28, 2007 Finding and Dismissal pursuant to 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.”

Consequently, this board lacks jurisdiction over claimant’s appeal. Claimant’s appeal to this board is therefore dismissed and must be pursued via the Appellate Court. See Cordero v. State/Judicial Branch, 5229 CRB-3-07-5 (May 23, 2007); Johnson v. Rainbow Rentals, 4295 CRB-1-00-9 (January 18, 2001); Rondini v. Tectonic Industries, 10 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 210, 1231 CRD-6-91-5 (December 4, 1992).
