Director, Office of Worker's Compensation Programs v. Hamilton

890 F.2d 1143

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The decision in this case is governed by binding precedent of the former Fifth Circuit: Holliday v. Todd Shipyards Corp., 654 F.2d 415 (5th Cir. Unit A 1981).* The Director, in his brief, acknowledges such, and, further, that we must affirm the decision of the Benefits Review Board unless this court, sitting en banc, overrules Holli-day. The Board’s decision is affirmed, without prejudice to the Director’s right to petition the court for rehearing en banc.

AFFIRMED.
