APD 013077

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 November 20, 2001. The hearing officer determined that the appellant (claimant) had not sustained a compensable injury on _______________, and that the claimant did not have disability.

The claimant appealed, embellishing his testimony from the CCH and essentially appealing the sufficiency of the evidence. The respondent (self-insured) responds, urging affirmance.

DECISION

Affirmed.

We have reviewed the complained-of determinations and conclude that the issues involved fact questions for the hearing officer. The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. 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 v. Bain, 709 S.W.2d 175, 176 (Tex. 1986).

We affirm the hearing officer’s decision and order.
