C.E. Thurston & Sons, Inc. and its insurer appeal a decision of the Workers’
Compensation Commission finding that Franklin K. Land adequately marketed his residual work

motion on December 8, 2005, the commission vacated its November 8, 2005 opinion, adopted
the findings of fact and conclusions of law in that opinion, and reissued it with certain
modifications pertaining to claimant’s award of temporary partial disability benefits.
