IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA No. 3-768 / 12-2326 Filed September 18, 2013 LINDA A. SHARP, Petitioner-Appellant, vs. UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN IOWA and STATE OF IOWA, Respondents-Appellees. ________________________________________________________________ Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Eliza J. Ovrom, Judge. Linda Sharp appeals the denial of workers compensation benefits. AFFIRMED. Judith O Donohoe of Elwood, O Donohoe, Braun & White, L.L.P., Charles City, for appellant. Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, and Deborah M. Stein, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Considered by Vogel, P.J., and Danilson and Tabor, JJ. 2 TABOR, J. Linda Sharp appeals the district court s denial of her petition for judicial review of a final decision by the Iowa Workers Compensation Commissioner. Sharp claims injuries related to her work for the University of Northern Iowa. She challenges the agency s conclusion she failed to prove medical or legal causation, and failed to give notice of her injuries. After a careful review of the record, the parties briefs, and the district court's thorough and well-reasoned opinion, we conclude the judicial review ruling should be affirmed without opinion pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.1203 subsections (a), (c), and (d). AFFIRMED.
