For Cheyenne Frontier Days, Inc.: James W. Gusea of James W. Gusea, P.C., Cheyenne, WY., For Workers' Safety and Compensation Division: William U. Hill, Attorney General; Gerald W. Laska, Senior Assistant Attorney General; and Bernard P. Haggerty, Assistant Attorney General.

Before LEHMAN, C.J., and THOMAS, MACY, GOLDEN, and TAYLOR, JJ.


LEHMAN, Chief Justice.

A hearing examiner denied injured worker Sheila Nissen's claim for benefits. The hearing examiner determined that Nissen failed to rebut the presumption that her claim be denied pursuant to Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 27-14-502(c) (Michie June 1991 Rpl.). We are satisfied the hearing examiner's determination was not an abuse of discretion.

We affirm.
