Harris v. WSI  Court Description: A district court judgment affirming an order of Workforce Safety and Insurance is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1) and (5). IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2012 ND 5 Bruce Harris, Appellant v. North Dakota Workforce Safety and Insurance, Appellee No. 20110244 Appeal from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Bruce A. Romanick, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Bruce G. Harris, P.O. Box 2652, Bismarck, N.D. 58502-2652; self-represented. Shanon Marie Gregor, Special Assistant Attorney General, P.O. Box 2626, Fargo, N.D. 58108-2626, for appellee. Harris v. WSINo. 20110244 Per Curiam. [¶1] Bruce Harris appeals from a district court judgment affirming Workforce Safety and Insurance's ("WSI") decision holding him personally liable for workers' compensation premiums and penalties owed by Oasis Water Systems, Inc. ("Oasis"). Among other issues, Harris argues he was denied a fair hearing, WSI failed to comply with procedural requirements, Oasis did not have any employees and was not required to pay any workers' compensation premiums, there is no evidence WSI paid any benefits to an employee, WSI failed to timely bill Oasis for any premiums owed, the penalties for noncompliance are improper, and the statute of limitations prohibits WSI from bringing this action to collect the premiums and penalties allegedly owed. The district court judgment is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1) and (5). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Mary Muehlen Maring Daniel J. Crothers Dale V. Sandstrom Carol Ronning Kapsner
