CLAIM NO. E708319
Before the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission
ORDER FILED MARCH 5, 2003
Upon review before the FULL COMMISSION in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.
Claimant represented by HONORABLE FREDERICK S. “RICK” SPENCER, Attorney at Law, Mountain Home, Arkansas.
Respondents No. 1 represented by HONORABLE CAROL WORLEY, Attorney at Law, Little Rock, Arkansas.
Respondent No. 2 represented by HONORABLE JUDY RUDD, Attorney at Law, Little Rock, Arkansas.
ORDER
This case comes on for review before the Commission on the claimant’s motion for an extension of the briefing schedule.
This case has been subject to several motions to extend the briefing schedule. It appears that respondent no. 1 and respondent no. 2 have filed their briefs. Thereafter, claimant’s brief was to become due on January 17, 2003. Claimant filed a timely motion for an extension and the matter was placed on our January 22, 2003 motion docket. For some reason, claimant’s attorney filed another motion for an extension on January 24, 2003. This motion is the one presently under consideration. It was placed on our February 12, 2003 motion docket. However, on February 3, 2003, the Commission granted claimant’s prior motion for an extension and directed the Clerk to establish another briefing schedule. Claimant had already filed his brief on January 28, 2003.
Accordingly, we find that the present motion is moot. Since respondent no. 1 has not been given the opportunity to file a reply brief, we direct the Clerk of the Commission to establish another briefing schedule for this reply brief.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
