ORDER

Claimant acting pro se has filed a Petition for Review from the trial commissioner’s April 30, 2009 Finding and Dismissal. The Finding dismissed claimant’s claim for wrongful termination. 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 this issue on appeal. Claimant’s wrongful discharge claim must be pursued by way of the Appellate Court. See Galovich v. Federal Express Corporation, 5307 CRB-2-07-12 (January 3, 2008).

All remaining issues on appeal are still pending before the Compensation Review Board.
