HORAN, J. The employee appeals from a decision awarding him a closed period of § 34 benefits and ongoing § 35 benefits.¹ We affirm.

¹ Appeals filed by Travelers Insurance Company and the Workers’ Compensation Trust Fund were subsequently withdrawn. The employee then settled his claim against the insurer. Rizzo v. M.B.T.A., 16 Mass. Workers’ Comp. Rep. 160, 161 n.3 (2002)(we take judicial notice of the board file). At the lump sum conference, the parties informed the presiding judge that Travelers had previously paid the employee all the benefits ordered in the hearing decision under review.
