New Mexico Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

OPINION

BLACK, Judge.

Employer appeals the compensation order of the Workers’ Compensation Judge (WCJ) awarding Worker temporary total disability benefits. Employer raises two issues on appeal: (1) whether the WCJ erred in rejecting Employer’s false application defense; and (2) whether the WCJ erred by not apportioning liability for Worker’s benefits between Employer and Worker’s prior employer. We affirm.

FACTS

Because Employer does not challenge the WCJ’s findings of fact, we are bound by those findings on appeal. See Stueber v. Pickard, 112 N.M. 489, 491, 816 P.2d 1111, 1113 (1991)…
