Poullard v. Diocese of Lafayette6/12/2002
t on May 23, 2000."
Appellate courts review findings of fact by a trial court under the manifest error standard of review. An appellate court may not reverse a factual finding of a trier of fact unless it is clearly wrong or manifestly erroneous. Rosell v. ESCO, 549 So.2d 840 (La.1989).
We have reviewed the evidence in its entirety. There is evidence which supports the appellant's position. However, there is also evidence to support the ruling of the workers' compensation judge. It is clear that credibility determinations had to be made by the workers' compensation judge to reach his conclusions. As an appellate court, we are precluded from second-guessing those credibility determinations. We cannot find the judgment below manifestly erroneous as there is evidence in the record to support the ruling. Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
