WILSON, J. This case is before us following a reconstruction of the hearing record pursuant to a previous reviewing board order. Lazarou v. City of Peabody, 12 Mass. Workers’ Comp. Rep. 86 (1998). The report of the administrative judge, who coordinated the reconstruction, states that the reconstruction was successful and that no further reconstruction is necessary in order to properly address the issues raised by the employee’s appeal. The employee, however, contends that justice requires a recommittal for hearing de novo.¹ After a review of the record, we agree with the report of the administrative judge that the reconstruction is sufficient and affirm the original hearing decision.

¹ The administrative judge who issued the decision that is the subject of this appeal no longer serves in the department.
