DOWNING, J.
The main issue in this appeal is whether the Office of Workers Compensation (OWC) erred in allowing an injured employee to dismiss the remainder of her claims ex parte, without prejudice, after it ruled in her favor in a companion suit and assessed the employer with penalties and attorney fees. The facts are fully set forth in the companion suit. See Nelson v. Windmill Nursery of Louisiana, 04-1941 (La.App. 1 Cir. 9/23/05),
