Argued and Submitted Jan. 16, 1998.

MEMORANDUM*

We grant Appellant's petition and remand for reconsideration in light of OWCP v. Greenwich Collieries and Maher Terminals, Inc., 512 U.S. 267 (1994). The ALJ's opinion appears to rely on the true doubt rule, which is now invalid. Id. at 281. Thus, we grant Appellant's petition and remand. See Sproul v. OWCP, 86 F.3d 895, 898 (9th Cir.1996); Brady-Hamilton Stevedore Co. v. OWCP, 58 F.3d 419, 420 (9th Cir.1995).

PETITION GRANTED; REMANDED.
