MEMORANDUM **

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Office of Worker’s Compensation Programs

Stevedoring Services of America (SSA) petitions for review of the Benefits Review Board’s determination that SSA was hable for George Ahuna’s temporary total disability resulting from injuries to his left and right knees during his course of employment as a longshoreman. We deny the petition.

In cases involving multiple injuries or cumulative trauma that result in compen-sable disability, liability for purposes of the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 901-950, attaches to the employer for whom the claimant was working when the last injury “aggravated, accelerated or combined with claimant’s prior injury, thus resulting in claimant’s disability.” Found. Constructors, Inc. v. Dir. OWCP, 950 F.2d 621, 623 (9th Cir. 1991) (quoting Kelaita v. Dir. OWCP, 799 F.2d 1308, 1311 (9th Cir. 1986)). Here, *315Ahuna suffered from a long-lasting injury to his left knee which he was told almost immediately after his last job with SSA would require a total joint replacement. Ahuna also injured his right knee while under SSA’s employment. SSA concedes in its briefing that “[i]t is clear that Ahu-na’s disability results from the combination of his left and right knee impairments, as the ALJ found.” Because SSA does not challenge the Board’s finding that Ahuna suffered no further injuries or aggravation to either of his existing injuries after Ahu-na’s employment with SSA, we must conclude that SSA is the employer liable for Ahuna’s disability compensation.

PETITION DENIED.
