1Opinion of the CourtLevy, J.
[¶ 1] S.D. Warren Co. appeals from a decision of a hearing officer of the Workers’ Compensation Board (Johnson, HO) granting Alan D’Amato’s petitions for award and restoration of workers’ compensation benefits. The appeal challenges the authority of the hearing officer to issue a decision in January 2003 following hearings held in September and November 2002. We affirm the decision concluding that although the hearing officer’s appointment by the Workers’ Compensation Board expired on December 31, 2002, she retained de facto authority to issue her decision in January 2003.
