Hanson, Judge. The employer and its insurer appeal from the district court s ruling on judicial review affirming the workers compensation commissioner s decision. AFFIRMED. Steven T. Durick and Joseph M. Barron of Peddicord, Wharton, Spencer, Hook, Barron & Wegman, L.L.P., West Des Moines, for appellant. Barbara J. Diment of Barbara J. Diment Law Office, West Des Moines, for appellee. Considered by Sackett, C.J., and Doyle and Danilson, JJ. 2 DOYLE, J. Hutton & Co., Inc. (employer) and Pekin Ins. Co. (insurance carrier) appeal from an adverse ruling on their petition for judicial review of the final agency decision of the Iowa Workers Compensation Commissioner. Appellants argue the district court erred in affirming the Commissioner s finding that James White is permanently and totally disabled. We have reviewed the thorough and well-reasoned decision of the district court and conclude the district court s ruling should be affirmed without opinion. See Iowa R. App. P. 6.1203(a), (c), and (d). AFFIRMED.
