                      APPELLEES                   AFFIRMED



                              DAVID M. GLOVER, Judge


       Appellant Coy Reese appeals the Workers’ Compensation Commission’s reversal of

the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) decision that he was permanently and totally disabled as

a result of a 2004 compensable injury. Reece argues that the Commission’s decision was in

error; he also argues that the Commission erred in disregarding the credibility findings of the

ALJ, which violated his constitutional right to due process, and that the Arkansas Workers’

Compensation Act fails to ensure judicial independence and violates his substantive and

procedural due-process rights.

       Reece’s constitutional arguments were neither presented to, nor decided by, the

Commission and are therefore not properly before us. Ashcraft v. White River Med. Ctr., 2013

Ark. App. 22. As in Ashcraft, the remaining issue on appeal concerns the sufficiency of the

evidence to support the Commission’s findings.          Because the Commission’s opinion

adequately explains its decision and because we conclude that the Commission’s findings are

supported by substantial evidence, we affirm by memorandum opinion. In re Memorandum

Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985).

       Affirmed.

       ABRAMSON and HARRISON, JJ., agree.
