OPINION

BRAMMER, Judge.

¶ 1 In this statutory special action, petitioner employee Michael Meiners contends the administrative law judge (ALJ) erred by reducing his workers' compensation benefits following a hearing on the petition he had filed for rearrangement. We conclude res judicata principles preclude the ALJ from reducing Meiners's disability compensation and set aside the award.
