¶ 1 The Court hereby amends Oklahoma Supreme Court Rule 1.106, 12 O.S.2011 Ch. 15, App. 1.
¶ 2 Oklahoma Supreme Court Rule 1.106 is amended to read as follows.
Rule 1.106 Agreed Settlement Pending Review
An agreed settlement may be approved by the Workers' Compensation Court while a petition for review is pending in this Court. The parties need not seek approval of the appellate court to pursue a joint settlement before the Workers' Compensation Court. However, when the parties seek a joint settlement before the Workers' Compensation Court they shall file in the appellate court a joint motion to stay the appellate review proceeding for a period specified in the motion. The Workers' Compensation Court is responsible for filing, forthwith, a copy of the approved settlement order, bearing the Supreme Court number, in this Court. That filing shall constitute a dismissal of the pending review without further order of this Court.
¶ 3 The version of Oklahoma Supreme Court Rule 1.106 amended by this Order shall take effect September 1, 2012. This Order shall be published three times in the Oklahoma Bar Journal.
¶ 4 DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT IN CONFERENCE THIS 11TH DAY OF JUNE, 2012. ¶ 5
