W.C. No. 4-246-988Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
May 30, 1996
FINAL ORDER
The claimant seeks review of a final order of Administrative Law Judge Rumler (ALJ) which denied the claim for benefits. We affirm.
The claimant testified that she hurt her back when bending over at work. However, the ALJ found that this testimony was not credible. In so doing, the ALJ noted that the claimant’s testimony was inconsistent with testimony given by other witnesses in the case.
The claimant has not filed a brief in support of her petition to review. Consequently, the effectiveness of our review is limited.
Insofar as the claimant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, we find no error. We have reviewed the transcript, and the ALJ’s pertinent findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence in the record. Section 8-43-301(8), C.R.S. (1995 Cum. Supp.). We are not free to substitute our judgement for that of the ALJ concerning resolution of conflicts in the evidence or the credibility of the witnesses. Monfort, Inc. v. Rangel, 867 P.2d 122 (Colo.App. 1993).
The claimant’s petition to review asserts that “certain words were translated incorrectly.” However, the claimant raised no objection to the qualifications of the interpreters, and has not pointed to any specific portion of the transcript where the translation was allegedly faulty. Under these circumstances, we find no basis for interfering with the order.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the ALJ’s order, dated August 24, 1995, is affirmed.
