Thurn v. Workforce Safety and Insurance
No. 20060092

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Dustin Thurn appealed from a district court judgment affirming an order of Workforce Safety & Insurance ("WSI") denying him workers compensation benefits. Thurn argued that he suffered a compensable injury, and therefore WSI wrongfully denied him benefits. We conclude WSI's finding that Thurn did not suffer a compensable injury is supported by a preponderance of the evidence. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(5).
