Before WATHEN, C.J., and ROBERTS, CLIFFORD, RUDMAN, DANA, LIPEZ, and SAUFLEY, JJ.


ROBERTS, Justice.

[¶ 1] Kenneth Gibbs appeals from the decision of the Workers' Compensation Board that denied his petition for an award of specific loss benefits as the result of an injury Gibbs incurred while he was employed by Fraser Paper, Ltd. Gibbs contends that the loss of use of his left second finger constituted "actual loss" of his second finger within the meaning of 39-A M.R.S.A. § 212(3)(C) (Supp.1996). We affirm the decision of the Board.
