Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit - 901 F.2d 1130 (D.C. Cir. 1990) May 8, 1990

Before MIKVA, BUCKLEY and D.H. GINSBURG, Circuit Judges.

JUDGMENT

PER CURIAM.


This case was considered on the record and on the briefs filed by the parties on petition for review of an order of the Benefits Review Board. The court has determined that the issues presented occasion no need for a published opinion. See D.C. Cir. Rule 14(c). It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the petition for review be granted. Because it appears that the administrative law judge (ALJ) relied upon the National Average Weekly Wage in performing the wage adjustment calculation, see ALJ's Decision and Order at 7, the Benefits Review Board was incorrect in characterizing that adjustment as depending on the minimum wage. See Board's Decision and Order at 3. Accordingly, this case is remanded to the Benefits Review Board for reconsideration.

The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C. Cir. Rule 15.
