[1] ORDER
[2] This case comes before the Full Commission on remand from the Arkansas Court of Appeals. On December 9, 1996, the Administrative Law Judge filed an opinion awarding benefits for permanent anatomical impairment. On August 7, 1997, the Full Commission affirmed and adopted the Administrative Law Judge’s findings and conclusions and award of compensation. However, the Court of Appeals delivered an opinion on May 27, 1998 finding that the Administrative Law Judge failed to make adequate findings necessary for the court to determine whether the relevant issues were resolved in conformity with the law.

[3] Therefore, we find that the case must, and hereby is, remanded to the Administrative Law Judge to make specific findings of fact in accordance with the mandate of the Arkansas Court of Appeals.

[4] IT IS SO ORDERED.
