    Jan. 24, 2007.
    William D. Barwiek, Valerie S. Sanders, Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan, LLP, Atlanta, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    R. Carl Cannon, Constangy, Brooks & Smith, Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellee.

The evidence before the decision-maker clearly indicated that Candace was not “principally dependent” on her father, the covered employee.

Accordingly, the judgment of the district courtis

AFFIRMED.
