October 28, 2004

This appeal arises pursuant to the Texas Workers' Compensation Act, TEX. LAB. CODE ANN. § 401.001 et seq. (1989 Act). A contested case hearing was held on August 4, 2004. The hearing officer determined that respondent (claimant herein) sustained a compensable injury on ______________; that the scope of the injury includes the left ankle; and that claimant had disability from April 8 through May 22, 2004. Appellant self-insured (carrier herein) appealed these determinations on sufficiency grounds. The file does not contain a response from claimant.

DECISION

We affirm.

The hearing officer reviewed the record and decided what facts were established. We conclude that the hearing officer’s determinations are supported by the record and 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.
