WCC No. 9502-7230


CATHERINE E. SATTERLEE

Petitioner

vs.

LUMBERMEN'S MUTUAL CASUALTY COMPANY

Respondent/Insurer for

BUTTREY FOOD & DRUG

Employer.


JUDGMENT

The Supreme Court reversed the Worker's Compensation Court's decision in this matter;

to the extent that it denied Satterlee's claim for total disability benefits, and remand[ed] this case to that court for entry of judgment in favor of the claimant, Catherine Satterlee.

The court affirmed the Workers' Compensation Court's determination that the claimant was not entitled to an award of attorney fees and the twenty percent penalty.

Accordingly, JUDGMENT IS HEREBY ENTERED FINDING that the claimant is presently permanently totally disabled as a result of her July 25, 1992 industrial injury, and ordering respondent Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty Company to pay claimant biweekly permanent total disability benefits until and unless claimant's disability status shall change. Claimant's requests for attorney fees and a penalty are denied.

DATED in Helena, Montana, this 15th day of May, 1997.
