SAIF Corp. v. Wright

801 P.2d 848, 104 Or. App. 322, 1990 Ore. App. LEXIS 1579

Opinion

RICHARDSON, P. J.

Claimant petitions for review of our decision, 102 Or App 598, 795 P2d 604 (1990), and we treat the matter as a petition for reconsideration. ORAP 9.15. Claimant seeks reconsider ation of our designation of SAIF as the prevailing party and our order denying his petition for attorney fees pursuant to ORS 656.390. We allow reconsideration and modify our opinion to designate claimant as the prevailing party. We deny reconsideration of claimant’s petition for attorney fees.

We concluded that the Board did not have authority to rule on SAIF’s motion, reversed its decision and remanded with instructions to dismiss SAIF’s motion. Because the Board’s decision was reversed and the case remanded, we designated SAIF as the prevailing party. However, the Board had denied SAIF the relief that it sought, and we concurred in that denial but for a different reason. Consequently, the opinion is modified to delete its last sentence (but not note 2), and the disposition is changed to read:

“Motion to dismiss petition for judicial review denied; motion for attorney fees denied; affirmed.”

Claimant is designated as the prevailing party, and costs are allowed to him, payable by SAIF.

Reconsideration allowed; decision modified to designate claimant as prevailing party; affirmed as modified.
