In the Matter of the Compensation of Joanne C. Krause, Claimant. VIP'S RESTAURANT et al, Petitioners, v. KRAUSE, Respondent.

WARREN, J.

Vip's and EBI's petition for reconsideration allowed; claimant's petition for reconsideration denied; former opinion adhered to.

WARREN, J.

Claimant has filed a petition for review of our decision, 89 Or. App. 214, 748 P.2d 164 (1988), reversing the Board's award of attorney fees. Vip's Restaurant and EBI Companies seek review of our decision affirming the Board's determination that Vip's was required to pay temporary total disability after it was held to be responsible for the claim and until the Evaluation Division determined that claimant was medically stationary. We allow only Vip's and EBI's petition for reconsideration. ORAP 10.10. We adhere to our opinion and write only to address Vip's and EBI's contention that they could not have sought claim closure before EBI was determined to be the responsible insurer, because SAIF had been designated the paying agent.

First, there is no indication in the record that SAIF had been designated as the paying agent. Second, even assuming that it had been, nothing prevented EBI, as a potentionally responsible insurer, from seeking a determination order any time after claimant became medically stationary. ORS 656.268.

Vip's and EBI's petition for reconsideration allowed; claimant's petition for reconsideration denied; former opinion adhered to.
