Description
The primary issue to be resolved in this case is whether there is sufficient evidence in the record before the hearing examiner to justify his finding that Robert L. Stockdale (Stockdale) failed to sustain his burden of proof that his claimed disability was related to an industrial injury. In the Order Denying Benefits, the hearing examiner concluded the claimed disability was "attributable to a degenerative disc disease," and no award of permanent partial disability should be made. There is a secondary issue, raised by the State of Wyoming ex rel. Workers Compensation Division (Division), relating to the application of the doctrine of res judicata in this case. We hold that there indeed is sufficient evidence to sustain the order of the hearing examiner in this case, and his determination could also be supported under the doctrine of res judicata. The district courts Order Following Review upholding the order of the hearing examiner is affirmed.
