McKINNEY, \nAttorney at Law, Little Rock, Arkansas. \n \nDecision of Administrative Law Judge:  Affirmed and Adopted. \n \nOPINION AND ORDER \n Claimant appeals an opinion and order of the Administrative Law \nJudge filed July 10, 2024.  In said order, the Administrative Law Judge \nmade the following findings of fact and conclusions of law: \n1. The Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission has \njurisdiction over this claim. \n \n2. The stipulations set forth above are reasonable and are hereby \naccepted. \n \n3. The Claimant has not proven by the preponderance of the \nevidence that her claim was filed within the statute of limitations. \nTherefore, her claim is barred by the statute of limitations. \n\n \nSANFORD - H204393  2\n  \n \n \n4. Moreover, the Claimant has also not proven by the \npreponderance of the evidence that she sustained a \ncompensable injury arising out of and through the course of \nemployment. \n \n5. Based on my finding that 1.) the statute of limitations has passed \nbefore the filing of her claim, and 2.) that her alleged injuries did \nnot arise out of and through the course of employment, the \nremaining issues of reasonable and necessary medical \ntreatment, temporary total disability benefits, and a controverted \nattorney’s fee are moot and will not be addressed in this opinion. \n \n We have carefully conducted a de novo review of the entire record \nherein and it is our opinion that the Administrative Law Judge's July 10, \n2024 decision is supported by a preponderance of the credible evidence, \ncorrectly applies the law, and should be affirmed.  Specifically, we find from \na preponderance of the evidence that the findings of fact made by the \nAdministrative Law Judge are correct and they are, therefore, adopted by \nthe Full Commission.  \n Therefore we affirm and adopt the decision of the Administrative Law \nJudge, including all findings and conclusions therein, as the decision of the \nFull Commission on appeal.  \n \n \n \n\n \nSANFORD - H204393  3\n  \n \n \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n    ___________________________________ \n    SCOTTY DALE DOUTHIT, Chairman \n \n    ___________________________________ \n    M.
