Opinion
No. 113153
June 30, 1999.
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(F)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE the September 2, 1998 order of the Court of Appeals and reinstate the February 2, 1998 decision of the Workers' Compensation Appellate Commission. Collateral estoppel precludes re-litigation of the termination issue. Edwards v. Aetna Life Ins Co, 690 F.2d 595 (CA 6, 1982); Fuchs v. General Motors Corp, 118 Mich. App. 547 (1982); Askew v. Ann Arbor, 431 Mich. 714 (1988). The remaining claims are nothing more than a challenge to the fact finding of the magistrate and WCAC. The decisions of the lower tribunals were supported by competent, material and substantial evidence on the record as a whole. Holden v. Ford Motor Co, 439 Mich. 257 (1992).
We do not retain jurisdiction.
