UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Heard September 12, 2012

Appeal From Greenville County Robin B. Stilwell, Circuit Court Judge

Darryl D. Smalls, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Larry A. Welborn, Standeffer & Harbin, LLP, of Anderson, C. Roland Jones, Jones & Hendrix, PA, of Spartanburg, Peter H. Dworjanyn, Collins & Lacy, PC, of Columbia, for Respondent.

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.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

FEW, C. J, and WILLIAMS and PIEPER, JJ, concur
