ORDER

Respondent-Employer, State of Connecticut filed a Petition for Review February 19, 2009 from the trial commissioner’s February 4, 2009 Sec. 31-288(b) penalty. Respondent’s appeal is premature. No record exists. Absent a record this board cannot properly consider an appeal under Sec. 31-301. The matter is therefore remanded to the trial commissioner acting for the First District for a Formal Hearing or other appropriate action. See Quinn v. Prime Technology, LLC, 5222 CRB-3-07-4 (May 14, 2007).
