8 Worker-Appellee, v. NO. 31,051 MGA HEALTHCARE STAFFING and ESIS, 12 Employer/Insurer-Appellant.
13 APPEAL FROM THE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATION Victor S. Lopez, Workers’ Compensation Judge Orlando Pino Socorro, NM Pro Se Appellee Paul L. Civerolo, L.L.P. Paul L. Civerolo Albuquerque, NM for Appellant
22 MEMORANDUM OPINION VIGIL, Judge.
1 Employer appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Judge (WCJ) granting Worker’s objection to its notice to change healthcare provider. In our notice, we proposed to affirm on the basis that there was sufficient evidence to support the decision of the WCJ. Employer has responded that it will not oppose our decision to affirm based on substantial evidence. However, it asserts that the decision of the WCJ was manifestly unjust. As we pointed out in our notice, it is for the fact finder, the WCJ here, to determine the credibility of the witnesses and to decide where the truth lies. We review simply for sufficiency of the evidence to support the decision.
9 For the reasons stated in the notice of proposed disposition, we affirm.
10 IT IS SO ORDERED.
