This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing (CCH) was held on March 15 2000. The record closed on March 18, 2000. The hearing officer determined that the appellant (claimant) did not sustain a compensable injury in the course and scope of her employment and that she did not have disability. Claimant appeals those determinations on sufficiency grounds. Respondent (carrier) responds that the Appeals Panel should affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
DECISION
We affirm.
Claimant contends the hearing officer erred in determining that she did not sustain a compensable injury in the course and scope of her employment. The hearing officer’s decision included a summary of the evidence and a discussion of her analysis. The applicable law and our standard of review are set forth in Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission Appeal No. 950456, decided May 9, 1995; Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission Appeal No. 987043, decided July 14, 1998; Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission Appeal No. 3094, decided March 19, 1993; Johnson v. Employers Reinsurance Corporation, 351 S.W.2d 936 (Tex. Civ. App.-Texarkana 1961, no writ); and Cain v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986). We have reviewed the record, the hearing officer’s decision, and the briefs, and we conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are not so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong or manifestly unjust. Cain.
We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
