PER CURIAM : Palmetto Ambulance Services appeals the circuit court's decision to affirm the Workers' Compensation Commission's appellate panel, which found Easthagen did not settle her workers' compensation claim pursuant to a settlement agreement and remanded the case to a single commissioner for a hearing on the merits. We find that neither the appellate panel's order nor the circuit court's order is immediately appealable. See S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-380 (Supp. 2011) ("A party . . . who is aggrieved by a final decision [of the commission] in a contested case is entitled to judicial review."); S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-390 (Supp. 2011) ("An aggrieved party may obtain a review of a final judgment of the circuit court . . . ."). Therefore, we dismiss the appeal and remand to the commission to carry out the appellate panel's order.
