PER CURIAM: Union County Carnegie Library and its insurance carrier appeal the workers' compensation commission's decision that employee Cynthia Walton sustained a compensable injury to her right shoulder. We find substantial evidence in the record to support the commission's decision. Therefore, we affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: Ardis v. Combined Ins. Co., 380 S.C. 313, 320, 669 S.E.2d 628, 632 (Ct. App. 2008) ("Our review is limited to deciding whether the Commission's decision is unsupported by substantial evidence or is controlled by some error of law."); Tims v. J.D. Kitts Constr., 393 S.C. 496, 508, 713 S.E.2d 340, 346 (Ct. App. 2011) (stating the final determination of witness credibility and the weight to be accorded evidence is reserved to the appellate panel).

AFFIRMED.
