Charles B. Simmons, Jr., Master In Equity

Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-451

Submitted October 1, 2011 – Filed October 11, 2011   

AFFIRMED

David Hill Keller, of Greenville, for
Appellant.

Linda Byars McKenzie, of Greenville, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  The South
Carolina Uninsured Employers Fund appeals the circuit court's affirmance of the
Appellate Panel of the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission's temporary
benefits award to Tamira Smith for injuries she sustained on her employer's
premises.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and
the following authorities: S.C. Code Ann.
§ 1-23-380(5)(e) (Supp. 2010) (providing the reviewing court must affirm a
decision of the Appellate Panel if it is supported by substantial evidence); Houston
v. Deloach & Deloach, 378 S.C. 543, 553, 663 S.E.2d 85, 90 (Ct. App.
2008) (finding the question of whether an injury arises out of and is in the
course and scope of employment is a question of fact for the appellate panel).

AFFIRMED.

SHORT, WILLIAMS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

[1]  We decide this case without oral argument pursuant
to Rule 215, SCACR.
