In re Zamora, W.C. No

Full title: IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF JOSIE ZAMORA, Claimant, v. DENVER PUBLIC…

Court: Industrial Claim Appeals Office

Date published: Jan 5, 1996

W.C. Nos. 4-012-396 4-148-383 (Colo. Ind. App. Jan. 5, 1996)

Opinion

W.C. Nos. 4-012-396 4-148-383

January 5, 1996

ORDER

On December 6, 1995, we issued a final order which affirmed an order of Administrative Law Judge Friend dated January 25, 1995. On December 26, 1995, the claimant filed a "Motion for Extension of Time Within Which to File Notice of Appeal." The claimant also filed a Notice of Appeal on December 26, 1995.

It is unclear whether the Motion for Extension was directed to us, and the respondents have not filed a response. However, the claimant's Motion is moot in view of the fact that the claimant filed a notice of appeal on December 26, 1995. Moreover, we lack authority to grant an extension of time to file a notice of appeal with the Court of Appeals. See § 8-43-301(10), C.R.S. (1995 Cum. Supp.); C.A.R. 26(a); Picken v. Industrial Claims Appeals Office, 874 P.2d 485 (Colo.App. 1995).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the claimant's motion for an extension of time to file a notice of appeal is denied.
