Decision Date28 April 1965
Docket NumberNo. 39127,39127
Citation2 Ohio St.2d 120,206 N.E.2d 911
Parties, 31 O.O.2d 192 The STATE ex rel. PRAYNER, Appellant, v. INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION of Ohio et al., Appellees.
CourtOhio Supreme Court

The relator, Prayner, an employee of a self-insuring employer, filed a claim for workmen's compensation which was allowed by the Administrator of the Bureau of Workmen's Compensation. The employer appealed from the decision to the Cleveland Regional Board of Review which affirmed the decision of the administrator. The employer then appealed from the decision of the regional board to the Industrial Commission.

The commission refused the appeal but, upon application for reconsideration, vacated its former order refusing an appeal and ordered the claim set for hearing. A hearing was had and continued to a later stipulated date.

Prior to the date set for hearing, relator instituted in the Court of Appeals the present action in mandamus seeking a writ requiring the Industrial Commission to vacate its order by which it vacated its former order refusing the employer's appeal and to reinstate in full force and effect its former order refusing the appeal of the employer from the order of the regional board, contending that the commission was without authority to vacate its order made in favor of the employee.

The Court of Appeals denied the writ.

An appeal as of right brings the cause to this court for review.

Alan Meltzer, Cleveland, for appellant.

William B. Saxbe, Atty. Gen. and Robert M. Duncan, Columbus, for appellee Industrial Commission.

Baker, Hostetler & Patterson, Russell E. Leasure and Robert G. Stinchcomb, Cleveland, for appellee employer.

PER CURIAM.

The Industrial Commission has control over its orders until the actual institution of an appeal therefrom or until the expiration of the time for such an appeal. See Diltz v. Crouch, Dir. of Liquor Control, 173 Ohio St. 367, 182 N.E.2d 315.

Judgment affirmed.

TAFT, C. J., and ZIMMERMAN, MATTHIAS, 'O'NEILL, HERBERT, SCHNEIDER, and BROWN, JJ., concur.
