McCARTHY, J. The self-insurer appeals from a decision in which the administrative judge awarded the employee specific injury benefits under § 36 for an accepted industrial injury to her left knee. At issue in this appeal is whether the judge's sua sponte ruling that the § 11A medical report was inadequate, thus allowing additional medical evidence, was arbitrary and capricious. We conclude that the ruling was proper and the decision is sound. We therefore affirm it.
