ORDER
This matter is currently before the Commission on the claimant’s Motion to Reconsider Decision on Filing a Belated Brief. After considering the claimant’s Motion, the respondent’s response thereto and all other matters properly before the Commission, we find that the Motion should be denied.

February 18, 2011, and the request to file a belated brief was not filed with the Commission until March 2, 2011. The claimant did not request an extension of the briefing schedule and the order of the Commission clearly indicates that the request was for the filing of a belated brief and that request was denied.

The claimant has raised no arguments which merit reconsideration . Therefore, we hereby deny the claimant’s Motion to Reconsider Decision on Filing a Belated Brief.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
