DOYLE, J.
RoMech (employer) and Zurich Insurance (insurance carrier) appeal from
an adverse ruling on their petition for judicial review of final agency action of the
Iowa Workers’ Compensation Commissioner. Appellants challenge the agency’s
determinations that (1) Kelli James sustained a work-related injury to her right
shoulder on April 14, 2005; (2) James gave proper notice of her April 19, 2005
injury; (3) the April 19, 2005 injury arose out of and in the course of James’s
employment; and (4) James was entitled to a running award of healing period
benefits. 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. 6.24(1).
AFFIRMED.
