Description
This is a workers' compensation case in which the Workers' Compensation Fund (Fund) challenges that part of a district court judgment that, pursuant to K.S.A. 44-567(a)(A), relieved Sunflower Electric Cooperative (Sunflower) of liability for compensation awarded to claimant Ronald E. Denton and ordered that the Fund pay the entire award. Although a notice of appeal was served and filed by Denton, his appeal has been abandoned by his failure to docket it and to file a brief. Underlying this litigation is an on-the-job accident experienced by Denton on May 21, 1983, at an electric power generating plant at Garden City, Kansas. Denton, an operating department shift foreman employed by Sunflower, the plant operator, suffered a herniated lumbar disc as a result of the accident. Post-accident medical examination and review of 1978 and 1980 x-rays resulted in physicians' objective findings of preexisting lumbosacral degenerative disc disease that had afflicted Denton since at least as early as 1978.
