CLAIM NOS. F603787 F606715
Before the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission
ORDER FILED JULY 10, 2009
Upon review before the FULL COMMISSION in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.
Claimant appears pro se.
Respondents represented by the HONORABLE MIKE DENNIS, Attorney at Law, Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
ORDER
This matter comes on for review before the Commission on claimant’s Motion for Clarification.
After our consideration of claimant’s motion, respondent’s response thereto, claimant’s reply to respondent’s response thereto, and all other matters properly before the Commission, we find that claimant’s motion should be denied. The Full Commission Order dated June 19, 2009 adequately addresses all issues before the Commission in a clear and concise manner.

Clarification of the Commission’s Order is neither necessary nor warranted.
Additionally, the claimant’s Motion for Clarification and the claimant’s Reply to Respondents’ Motion to My Motion for Clarification asks the Commission to address the issue of a permanent impairment rating. Although the June 19, 2009 Opinion and Order of the Full Commission does direct the respondent to send Dr. Pollard a Form AR-3 “Physician’s Report,” to obtain his opinion on the healing period, work restrictions and any permanent impairment, the issue of whether or not Dr. Pollard’s opinion as to claimant’s degree of permanent impairment is correct has not been properly raised before an Administrative Law Judge. All issues must first be raised at a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge and will not be considered by the Full Commission upon improper motion.
Accordingly, we find that claimant’s Motion for Clarification should be, and hereby is, denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
