In the above-styled matter, the Arkansas Court of Appeals has reversed and remanded to the Full Commission on direct appeal and has affirmed the Full Commission on cross-appeal. Jacobs v.

disability for her compensable left knee injury. The Court has reversed the Commission’s finding that the claimant did not prove she sustained a compensable injury to her low back.
Therefore, in accordance with the mandate from the Court of Appeals, the Full Commission reverses the administrative law judge’s finding that the claimant did not prove she sustained a compensable injury to her low back. We find that the claimant proved she sustained a compensable low back injury pursuant to the relevant provisions of Act 796 of 1993.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
