Downing v. N.D. Workers Comp. Bureau
No. 20020257
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Kim Perteet Downing (“Perteet”) appealed from a district court judgment affirming a final order of the North Dakota Workers Compensation Bureau (“Bureau”) denying Perteet medical expenses after December 1, 1995, and awarding disability benefits from October 6, 1993 to October 27, 1993. Perteet appealed to the district court asserting the Bureau’s order “is not supported by a preponderance of the evidence.” No other document listing any specifications of error was filed. The district court, despite a review of the record, could not find anything unfair in the manner in which the proceeding was handled. Perteet appealed to this Court arguing the Bureau’s decision “is not supported by a preponderance of the evidence and that Ms. Perteet was not given a fair hearing.” Perteet’s notice of appeal is so general it could apply to any administrative agency appeal. Perteet failed to satisfy the specificity requirement of N.D.C.C. § 28-32-42(4); thus the judgment is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). See Vetter v. North Dakota Workers Comp. Bureau , 554 N.W.2d 451, 454 (N.D. 1996).
