Brown v. Workforce Safety & Insurance

No. 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).
