Opinion:
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
John Powell ("Employee") appeals the award of the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission denying his claim for Workers' Compensation benefits. We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find that the Commission's award is supported by substantial evidence and is not against the weight of the evidence. A detailed opinion would be of no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties with a brief memorandum opinion, for their information only, explaining the reasons for our decision. The award is affirmed pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
