Alevia Green
v.
North Central Iowa Regional Solid Waste Authority and IMWCA
The defendants seek further review after the court of appeals affirmed the district court’s reversal of the workers’ compensation commissioner’s grant of summary judgment in defendants’ favor. The defendants argue the commissioner correctly found that plaintiff’s claims should be dismissed on summary judgment based upon the doctrine of res judicata.

Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, Kurt L. Wilke, Judge. AFFIRMED AND REMANDED. Heard by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (9 pages)
In this review-reopening action, an employer and its insurer appeal the district court’s reversal of the workers’ compensation commissioner’s grant of summary judgment in their favor. OPINION HOLDS: Because we agree the commissioner erred in granting the employer’s motion for summary judgment, we affirm with directions to remand to the agency for further proceedings.
