ORDER FILED MARCH 7, 2011

Upon review before the FULL COMMISSION, Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas.

Claimant represented by the HONORABLE DOUGLAS M. CARSON, Attorney at Law, Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Respondent No. 2 represented by the HONORABLE DAVID PAKE, Attorney at Law, Little Rock, Arkansas.


ORDER

This claim is presently before the Commission on remand from the Court of Appeals. In a decision delivered February 2, 2011, the Court of Appeals reversed and remanded this case to the Commission for the Commission to make findings of fact that are detailed and specific. The Court found that the Commission's findings do not contain all the specific facts relevant to the contested issue. Specifically, the Commission's findings do not address the testimony of Mr. Travis Rushing, and the Court was unable to say whether his testimony was "disbelieved, overlooked, disregarded arbitrarily." Vijil v. Schlumberger Technology Corp., 2011 Ark. App. 87, ___ S.W.3d ___ (2011). Accordingly, we find that this matter must be remanded to the Administrative Law Judge for consideration of the evidence in the record of the testimony of Mr. Rushing in accordance with the Court of Appeal's decision.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
