Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
WIENER, Circuit Judge:
This appeal presents narrow procedural questions concerning the timeliness of appeals to the Benefits Review Board (BRB) under regulations promulgated pursuant to the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). 1 More particularly, we are asked to determine whether the BRB properly dismissed an insurer’s appeal from a decision of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) as premature because another party had filed a timely Motion for Reconsideration of the ALJ’s decision after the filing of the insurer’s notice of appeal.
