CLAIM NO. F405352
Before the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission
OPINION FILED OCTOBER 24, 2006
Upon review before the FULL COMMISSION in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.
Claimant appears pro se.
Respondents represented by the Honorable David C. Jones, Attorney at Law, Little Rock, Arkansas.
ORDER
This claim is presently before the Commission on Respondents’ Motion to Strike the Claimant’s Reply Brief. Respondent correctly asserts that claimant argues evidence in that reply brief not admitted by the Administrative Law Judge at the hearing below. Claimant did not appeal this issue regarding admission of evidence but appealed only compensability of the injury.
Claimant has responded to the motion. The Commission can review arguments in briefs but will not consider evidence not admitted. The Commission will give proper weight to evidence actually admitted at the hearing and will not consider evidence not admitted.
Accordingly, we find that the Respondents’ motion should be denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
