18                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

19 KENNEDY, Judge.

20       Worker appeals an amended order granting in part his petition for a partial

21 lump-sum payment. We issued a second calendar notice proposing to summarily
1 dismiss Worker’s appeal as premature because the workers’ compensation judge

2 (WCJ) has not ruled on Worker’s motion for reconsideration. Worker filed a timely

3 memorandum in support, which we have duly considered. For the reasons in the

4 second calendar notice, we dismiss this appeal.

5       IT IS SO ORDERED.

6                                       ___________________________________
