The Full Commission has reviewed the prior Order Approving Compromise Settlement Agreement before Deputy Commissioner William Bost. The appealing party has not shown good ground to reconsider the evidence; receive further evidence; rehear the parties or their representatives; or amend the Order, except with the modification of the attorney fee.
                               ***********
The parties now have executed and submitted for approval a compromise settlement agreement. The agreement is incorporated herein with reference, and is approved in the amount of $36,750.00. Compliance with the terms of the agreement shall discharge defendants from further liability under the Workers' Compensation Act by reason of the injury giving rise to this claim.
An attorney's fee of $11,025.00 is approved for plaintiff's counsel. This amount shall be deducted from the sum due plaintiff and paid directly to plaintiff's counsel.
It is to be noted, however, that this Order does not purport to approve, resolve or address any issue or matter over which the Industrial Commission has no jurisdiction, whether or not such issue or matter is referred to in the compromise settlement agreement executed by the parties in this action.
Defendants shall pay the costs.
This the 6th day of May 1998.
