1Opinion of the CourtJustice Rice

¶1 Kevin Rausch, Charles Fisch and Thomas Frost (Appellants) appeal from the judgment entered in the Workers’ Compensation Court, holding that permanently totally disabled (PTD) claimants injured between July 1,1987, and June 30,1991, are not entitled to an impairment award, and denying Appellants’ request to issue a subpoena compelling the Department of Labor and Industry to furnish information identifying PTD claimants covered by Plan 1 and Plan 2 insurers. Additionally, Appellants argue that denial of an impairment award to PTD claimants violates the equal protection clause. We affirm.
