IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2017 ND 151 Brian Brown, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Workforce Safety and Insurance, Defendant and Appellee No. 20170083 Appeal from the District Court of Ward County, North Central Judicial District, the Honorable Gary H. Lee, Judge. AFFIRMED.

Kuntz (on brief), Special Assistant Attorneys General, Bismarck, N.D., for defendant and appellee. Brown v. Workforce Safety & InsuranceNo. 20170083 Per Curiam. [¶1] Brian Brown appeals from a judgment affirming a decision of Workforce Safety and Insurance ("WSI") to terminate his disability and vocational rehabilitation benefits and require that he repay WSI $2,558.57 in benefits. We conclude the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") made no reversible error of law in interpreting the terms of the contractual rehabilitation stipulation between Brown and WSI, and the ALJ's finding that Brown was in noncompliance with the stipulation is supported by a preponderance of the evidence. We summarily affirm the judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(5). [¶14] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Jerod E. Tufte Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Carol Ronning Kapsner
