Decision  Roosevelt Johnson v. Boston City Hospital

Date: 04/14/2000
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 85887-89
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Roosevelt Johnson
  • Employer: Boston City Hospital
  • Self Insurer: City of Boston

CARROLL, J. The employee appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge authorized the self-insurer to discontinue payment of §35 weekly incapacity benefits as of April 9, 1996. The self-insurer’s discontinuance complaint was the subject of a prior decision. That decision was appealed to the Reviewing Board. The Reviewing Board recommitted the matter for further findings on the opinions of the §11A medical examiner because the administrative judge had mischaracterized those opinions in the decision. See Johnson v. Boston City Hospital, 12 Mass. Workers’ Comp. Rep. 503 (1998). (Dec. I.) After recommittal, the judge issued a new decision. (Dec. II.) Because comments by the judge in this latest decision give rise to questions of bias, we again recommit the case.
