Cite as 2011 Ark. App. 773 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION III No. CA11-679 RICHARD LITTLE Opinion Delivered December 14, 2011 APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE ARKANSAS WORKERS COMPENSATION COMMISSION [NO. F907508] V. TYSON POULTRY, INC., AND TYNET, INC. APPELLEES AFFIRMED JOHN MAUZY PITTMAN, Judge Appellant sustained an admittedly compensable shoulder injury when he slipped in the course of his employment with appellee Tyson Poultry, Inc. He filed a claim alleging that he also sustained a compensable injury to his cervical spine during the same incident. This claim was controverted. After a hearing, the Arkansas Workers Compensation Commission found that appellant failed to prove that he sustained a work-related cervical injury. This appeal followed. The only issue on appeal concerns the sufficiency of the evidence to support the Commission s findings. Because this is the sole issue before us, and because the Commission s opinion adequately explains the decision, we affirm by memorandum opinion. See In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985). Affirmed. VAUGHT, C.J., and GRUBER, J., agree.
