Filed 3/19/20 by Clerk of Supreme Court IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2020 ND 59 David Wasley, Appellant v. State of North Dakota, by and through Workforce Safety and Insurance, Appellee and NLR Personnel, LLC, Respondent No. 20190350 Appeal from the District Court of Williams County, Northwest Judicial District, the Honorable Joshua B. Rustad, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Stephen D. Little, Bismarck, ND, for appellant; submitted on brief. Jacqueline S. Anderson, Special Assistant Attorney General, Fargo, ND, for appellee; submitted on brief. 1 Wasley v. WSI No. 20190350 Per Curiam. [¶1] David Wasley appeals the district court’s judgment affirming the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) order denying Wasley’s Workforce Safety and Insurance (WSI) claim. Wasley claims the ALJ erred in finding he did not prove he sustained a compensable injury arising out of and in the course of his employment. “In reviewing an administrative agency’s factual findings, a court may not make independent findings of fact or substitute its judgment for the agency’s findings; rather, a court must determine only whether a reasoning mind reasonably could have determined the findings were proven by the weight of the evidence from the entire record.” State by and through Workforce Safety and Insurance v. Sandberg, 2019 ND 198, ¶ 12, 931 N.W.2d 488. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(5). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Gerald W. VandeWalle Jerod E. Tufte
