Opinion

Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 107 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION I No. CV-14-881 ACE MECHANICAL, INC.; Opinion Delivered February 18, 2015 FIRSTCOMP INSURANCE COMPANY; AND DEATH & APPEAL FROM THE ARKANSAS PERMANENT TOTAL DISABILITY WORKERS’ COMPENSATION TRUST FUND COMMISSION APPELLANTS [NO. F701339] V.

KENNY HOLLOWAY AFFIRMED APPELLEE

RITA W. GRUBER, Judge Ace Mechanical, Inc., appeals the September 8, 2014 decision of the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission that awarded Kenneth Holloway additional benefits in the form of pain management for his compensable back injury. Ace Mechanical contends that substantial evidence does not support the award for pain management that was prescribed six years after his compensable back surgery.

The Commission’s decision summarizes Holloway’s testimony, a functional-capacity evaluation, and relevant medical records. Further, the Commission exercised its duty to make determinations of credibility, weigh the evidence, and resolve any conflicts in the testimony and evidence. Ark. Methodist Med. Ctr. v. Blansett, 2013 Ark. App. 480. Because the only issue on appeal is the sufficiency of the evidence and because the opinion of the Commission thoroughly explains its decision, we affirm by memorandum opinion pursuant to sections (a) Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 107 and (b) of In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985).

Affirmed.
