UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Heard January 10, 2012
Appeal From The Workers' Compensation Commission Appellate Panel
David Vance Benson, of Rock Hill, for Appellant.
Michael E. Chase and Carmelo B. Sammataro, both of Columbia, for Respondent Celadon Trucking Services of Indiana.
Timothy B. Killen, of Columbia, for Respondent S.C. Uninsured Employers' Fund.
PER CURIAM
Ronnie Turney appeals a decision by the appellate panel of the workers' compensation commission to deny his benefits claim due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Having carefully reviewed the record on appeal, we make findings of fact consistent with those of the appellate panel. We therefore conclude Turney has not met his burden of proof on appeal. See Hernandez-Zuniga v. Tickle, 374 S.C. 235, 244, 647 S.E.2d 691, 696 (Ct. App. 2007) (stating that on appeal of a decision by the commission that it lacked jurisdiction, "[t]he appellant bears the burden of showing that [the decision below] is against the preponderance of the evidence").
AFFIRMED.
FEW, C.J., and THOMAS and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
