_________________________________

 

Submitted January 30, 2006 - Decided February 17, 2006

Before Judges Lintner and Holston, Jr.

On appeal from a final decision of the Division of Workers' Compensation.

Alexandre Ponarovski, appellant pro se.

Lenox, Socey, Wilgus, Formidoni, Brown, Giordano & Casey, attorneys for respondent (Roland R. Formidoni, on the brief).

PER CURIAM

Petitioner, Alexandre Ponarovski, appeals from the Judgment of the Division of Workers' Compensation entered against respondent, National School Bus, awarding him twenty-seven and one-half percent permanent partial total disability apportioned fifteen percent for orthopedic residuals of herniated cervical disc; seven and one-half percent neurological for post-concussion syndrome, and five percent for psychiatric. On April 28, 2005 Judge Gottlieb issued his oral decision setting forth, in depth, the procedural history and his findings based upon medical records, doctor's reports submitted, and the testimony of Dr. Farooq Rehman, a board certified Neurologist, Dr. Steven Somogyi, an internist, and petitioner. On June 9, 2005, Judge Gottlieb executed the judgment memorializing his decision and explained the judgment to petitioner. He then let petitioner voice his objections.

On appeal petitioner claims that "respondent/owners including lawyers & doctors . . . deliberately & consciously mislead and misinterpreted all medical evidence of sustained injuries & supported by [the] Worker[s'] Compensation Court." He also maintains that he is entitled to be compensated, that he is a victim of "legal & medical malpractice & corruption which has devastated his entire health & life."

 
We find no error and affirm for the reasons given by Judge Gottlieb in his comprehensive decision rendered on April 28, 2005. Judge Gottlieb's finding is supported by sufficient credible evidence in the record. Close v. Kordulak Bros., 44 N.J. 589, 599 (1965). Petitioner's arguments to the contrary are without merit and do not warrant further discussion in a written opinion. R. 2:11-3(e)(1)(D) and (E).

Affirmed.
