[1] ORDER[2] This case comes on for review before the Full Commission on Respondent No. 2’s Motion For Reconsideration and Modification. [3] After consideration of Respondent No. 2’s Motion, the response of the Claimant and Respondent No. 1 thereto, and all other matters properly before the Commission, we find that the Motion of Respondent No. 2 must be granted. [4] In an opinion filed June 22, 1999, the Full Commission affirmed and adopted the decision of the administrative law judge awarding the maximum statutory attorney’s fee to the claimant’s attorney and assessing the sole liability of the attorney’s fees to the Second Injury Fund. In light of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Furman v. Second Injury Fund, 336 Ark. 10, ___ S.W.2d ___ (January 7, 1999), we vacate that portion of our June 22, 1999, opinion and order awarding attorney’s fees and assessing liability to the Second Injury Fund. [5] The June 22, 1999 opinion and order is hereby amended only in this regard. In all other respects, the said opinion and order shall remain the same and shall not be otherwise affected. [6] IT IS SO ORDERED. [7] ________________________________
