Stottler v. Meyers Printing Company

OPINION

SHUMAKER, Judge.

After a reemployment insurance judge denied benefits to an employee, a commissioner’s representative unilaterally ordered review of the decision. Without conducting a review, the representative withdrew the order after the time for appeal had expired. The employee appealed from the reemployment insurance judge’s order. The commissioner dismissed the appeal as untimely. We hold that the commissioner is equitably estopped from withdrawing the order for review and that he must comply with the mandate in Minn.Stat. § 268.105, subd. 3(b) (1998).
