IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA No. 3-771 / 13-0149 Filed August 21, 2013 CARDINAL IG COMPANY and SENTRY INSURANCE, Plaintiff-Appellants, vs. THOMAS CROZIER, Defendant-Appellee. ________________________________________________________________ Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Eliza J. Ovrom, Judge. The employer and its insurer appeal the district court s judicial review decision affirming the workers compensation commissioner s decision. AFFIRMED. Michael S. Roling of Peddicord, Wharton, Spencer, Hook, Barron & Wegman, L.L.P., West Des Moines, for appellants. Nicholas W. Platt of Hopkins & Huebner, P.C., Des Moines, for appellee. Considered by Eisenhauer, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Doyle, JJ. 2 DOYLE, J. Cardinal IG Company (employer) and Sentry Insurance (insurance carrier) appeal from an adverse ruling on their petition for judicial review of a final agency decision by the Iowa Workers Compensation Commissioner, which awarded healing period and permanent partial disability benefits to Thomas Crozier. Appellants challenge the agency s determinations (1) awarding a twenty percent industrial disability for a whole-body injury; (2) awarding healing period benefits from May 4, 2009, through July 28, 2010; and (3) finding Crozier s current medical condition is causally related to his employment at Cardinal. After a careful review of the record, the briefs of the parties, and the district court s thorough and well-reasoned opinion, we conclude the district court s ruling should be affirmed without opinion pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.1203 subsections (a), (c), and (d). AFFIRMED.
