OPINION

FONES, Justice.

This is a workers' compensation case in which the sole issue is whether defendant, Mr. West, was an independent contractor or an employee of plaintiff at the time of his injury. Plaintiff, Jackson Sawmill, Inc., instigated the present suit to resolve this issue and the trial court held that West was indeed an independent contractor and not an employee. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the decision of the trial judge.
