HORAN, J. The petitioner, G. Gregory Howard, the employee's former attorney, filed an appeal of the June 7, 2007, hearing decision in this case. He contends the judge erred by not enhancing the § 13A(5) attorney's fee awarded to successor counsel. The petitioner seeks the enhanced fee to help compensate him for his representation of the employee prior to his discharge as counsel. We do not reach the fee issue because the petitioner lacks standing to appeal the decision, as he did not represent the employee at the 2007 hearing, and because there was no motion for an enhanced fee filed with the judge at hearing.
