Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the reasoning set out in its notice of proposed disposition and decided to affirm the WCJ’s third amended compensation order (para 2).

Reasons

• Per MEGAN P. DUFFY, Judge (JENNIFER L. ATTREP, Chief Judge, and KRISTINA BOGARDUS, Judge, concurring): The decision to affirm the WCJ’s order was based on the Worker-Appellant's memorandum in support of the Court’s notice of proposed disposition and the absence of a memorandum in opposition from the Employer/Insurer-Appellees. The Appellees' failure to oppose the proposed disposition within the allotted time frame contributed to the Court's decision to rely on its initial reasoning for the proposed reversal, ultimately leading to the affirmation of the WCJ’s order (paras 1-2).
