CORDELL, ClaimantWCB Case No. 01-01852ORDER OF DISMISSALClaimant UnrepresentedJeff R Gerner, SAIF Legal, Defense AttorneysReviewing Panel: Members Biehl and Lowell.Claimant, pro se, requests review of Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Menashe's March 25, 2002 order.

The order contained a statement that any party dissatisfied with the order could request Board review.
