Brown, absent a timely objection in which good cause to the contrary was set forth, for filing a skeletal and untimely petition for reconsideration of the Findings of Award issued by a workers’ compensation arbitrator on December 8, 2010. Our Notice of Intention to Impose Sanctions gave Peter T. Brown, fifteen (15) days plus an additional five (5) days for mailing within which to register a good cause objection to the imposition of sanctions. Peter T. Brown has an opportunity to justify the filing of a skeletal and untimely petition and has failed to do so. We determine that a sanction in the amount of $250.00 is justified. Therefore, for the reasons previously stated in the Notice of Intention to Impose Sanctions dated March 14, 2011, sanctions are assessed against Peter T. Brown, in the amount of $250.00. For the foregoing reasons, GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, , IT IS ORDERED that Peter T. Brown, pay sanctions in the amount of $250.00, payable by check to “Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.” The firm subject to the sanction, case name and case number shall be placed in the information portion of the check, and the check shall be mailed with a copy of this Order to:RICK DIETRICHSecretary and Deputy CommissionerWORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARDP.O.
