MEMORANDUM OPINION

VANZI, Judge.

{1}       Worker appeals from the Workers’ Compensation Judge’s (WCJ) order granting Employer/Insurer’s motion to stay proceedings and order denying Worker’s motion for reconsideration and administratively closing the case. This Court issued a notice of proposed disposition, proposing to summarily dismiss the appeal for lack of finality. Worker filed a memorandum in support of our proposed summary disposition, requesting that we dismiss to allow the WCJ to rule on her motion for clarification and address whether the case is administratively closed. Accordingly, and for the reasons stated in our notice of proposed disposition, we dismiss.

{2}       IT IS SO ORDERED.
