In the Matter of the Worker's Compensation Claim Of: Kristi Leavitt v. State of Wyoming ex rel. Wyoming Workers' Safety and Compensation Division

DAVIS, Justice.

[11] Appellant Kristi Leavitt experienced lower back pain after shoveling snow just before Christmas of 2009. She filed a claim for benefits with the Wyoming Workers' Safety and Compensation Division, contending that her pain was causally related to a compensable back injury she had suffered in 1996. The Division denied the claim, and the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) upheld that decision after holding a contested case hearing. The district court for the First Judicial District affirmed the OAH ruling. We affirm the district court.
