Description
Carl Dorton, former Fire Chief of the Big Spring Fire Department, applied to the Board of Trustees of the Big Spring Firemens Relief and Retirement Fund (the Board) for disability benefits. After the Board denied him the benefits, Dorton appealed to the Firemens Pension Commissioner (the Commissioner), who reversed the Boards decision and awarded benefits to Dorton. The Board appealed to the district court, which affirmed the Commissioners decision. The Board now appeals the district courts judgment, complaining that: (1) the Commissioner improperly reviewed the Boards decision by trial de novo; (2) no substantial evidence supports the Commissioners decision; (3) Dorton failed to substantially comply with each of the conditions precedent to his obtaining benefits; and (4) the Commissioner failed to include in the record the minutes of the Boards hearing and the exhibits introduced by the parties at that hearing. We will reverse the trial courts judgment and remand the cause to the Commissioner.
