Per Curiam.
[¶1] David Wasley appeals the district court’s judgment affirming the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) order denying Wasley’s Workforce Safety and Insurance (WSI) claim. Wasley claims the ALJ erred in finding he did not prove he sustained a compensable injury arising out of and in the course of his employment. "In reviewing an administrative agency’s factual findings, a court may not make independent findings of fact or substitute its judgment for the agency’s findings; rather, a court must determine only whether a reasoning mind reasonably could have determined the findings were proven by the weight of the evidence from the entire record." State by and through Workforce Safety and Insurance v. Sandberg , 2019 ND 198, ¶ 12, 931 N.W.2d 488. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(5).
