This workers’ compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers’ Compensation

section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the supreme court of findings of fact and
conclusions of law. The trial court awarded Plaintiff 100 percent permanent disability. Defendant

be paid directly to the Plaintiff. Judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
