REVIEW of a decision of the Court of Appeals.  Affirmed. 
 
¶1 
PER CURIAM.  The court is evenly divided upon the 
question of affirmance or reversal.  That results in affirmance 
of the judgment of the court of appeals and thus of the Labor 
and Industry Review Commission.  Chief Justice Shirley S. 
Abrahamson, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley and Justice N. Patrick 
Crooks would affirm.  Justice Patience Drake Roggensack, Justice 
Annette Kingsland Ziegler, and Justice Michael J. Gableman would 
No.

reverse.  Justice David T. Prosser did not participate. 
Accordingly, the decision of the court of appeals is affirmed.
