Dennis R. VavRosky, VavRosky, MacColl, Olson, Busch & Pfeifer, Portland, Oregon, for the respondents.

Before: Fernandez, T.G. Nelson, and Thomas, Circuit Judges.


FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judge:

James L. Burton petitions for review of an order of the Benefits Review Board (BRB or Board) on March 23, 1998, which affirmed the setting of his benefits at a nominal amount. He claims that the proceedings after September 11, 1996, were a nullity, and as a result an August 9, 1993, determination by the Administrative Law Judge, which set his compensation at a much higher level, is the existing award.
